Hello,
Assuming I bought a "good one" (Seasonic, XFX, upper-end Corsair, Antec), would 550 watt PSU be sufficient to run my system?

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($228.99 @ SuperBiiz)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($141.98 @ Newegg)
Assuming it is, I have two further questions:
1) How much "upgrade-ability" would I have left, if any?
2) Given that EVGA says that a 600 Watt power supply is the minimum for a GTX 770, is there another reason (ie warrenty) that I shouldn't get a 550 watt PSU?
