I have an Ultra 500w ATX PSU right now, wondering if its enough to power this GTX 770. It has 2 6-pin connectors. If it isn't, wondering what PSUs you guys would recommend, preferably with enough wattage to handle 2 770s.

Current Specs:
ASROCK Z77 Extreme4
Intel i5 3570k Oc'd to 4.3ghz
EVGA GTX 560 Ti OC'd to 980mhz core; 2300mhz shader
2x4gb G-Skill Ripjaws CL7
1TB WD Caviar Black HDD
128GB Sandisk Extreme SSD
DVD Drive and x4 fans (x1 240 mm, x2 120mm, x1 140mm)

Using the eXtreme PSU Wattage Calculator, it says the recommended wattage is 427w. Nvidia recommends 600w i believe. I don't think my PSU is bronze certified or whatever, so not really sure..

Nope, atleast I wouldn't try... especially when you're OC'ing your CPU. Get a qualiti 600w psu, but a Corsair TX650 or a Seasonic 620 will do really good.

a quality 500W could, but yours is not a quality one. The above members recommendations aren't bad, but if you can't spend that much a corsair cx series will do. Generally, corsair, antec and seasonic are good names at the watt range you're looking at.
