I am going to get a XFX series psu as apparently they are very good. I do not know what my required wattage is though. I am guessing it is around 550ws but here is my system. (also I will sometimes be overclocking).
Here is my system;
MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX Motherboard (PCI-E, Socket AM3+)
AMD FX- 6300
MSI twin frozr gtx 770
Crucial Ballstix tactical 1866 MHz RAM
Zalman Z11 midi tower case
1 TB Hard drive
Cooler Master hyper 212 EVO

Many thanks.

i have gtx 770 and i5 4670 with a 600watt evga 600b psu...so i guess you will be fine providing that you will have quality psu.(xfx is one)if you dont want to worry just go with a 600w-650w just for safety when overclocking.

You could likely get away with the XFX 550W as it provides 44 amps, and the GTX 770 requires a 42 amp minimum (if my memory serves me correctly). But I always like to have extra wiggle room, so I'd likely suggest a 650W unit.
