The Antec Green 650 Watt from Best Buy I thought was a good buy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/antec-650-watt-atx-power-su...

It DOES have enough connectors, one 6+2 pin and one 6 pin connector, which is all you need for that GPU. You'll only need to upgrade it if you plan on going SLI in the future. Until then, you can hold off on that upgrade.

I would recommend a 650w psu from Corsair.

Corsair have very good quality products and a very payable price and im pretty sure all corsair psu's are 80+.
Can recommend Corsair CS 650M. Its a semi modular psu so you can just plug the cables you need in and its amazing.

If you want to use sli, i recommend a corsair hx 850w

600w is enough but you HAVE to make sure that you have minimum rating of 42w on the 12v rail.

The power supply is electrically sufficient. However the TR2 is one of the worst units on the market. See here:

http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Its in the 'replace immediately' tier.

I do not recommend any of the new Corsair units. The CX, CS and RM series all use substandard capacitors.

The absolute best unit sub $100 is the Seasonic G. 80 Plus Gold and semi modular.

The 550w is $75 and is plenty of power for your build.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


The 650w version is $99 and gives you plenty of headroom to upgrade to any single graphics card including the power hungry R9 290X or GTX 780 Ti.

Newegg is the cheapest place for both units via pcpartpicker.

I'm pretty sure they don't. ;)

RealhardtechX maintains the most comprehensive power supply database on the internet and can be totally trusted. In fact this list is an overestimation by a bit.

The 550w Seasonic G has 45 amps on the 12v rail and is plenty of power for your listed system with a GTX 770. The 650w version supplies 54 amps on the 12v rail and as I stated above is sufficient for any single graphics card setup. So 550w for what you have now ( GTX 770 ) and 650w if you plan on upgrading to a higher end card.

I'd second that recommendation for the G-series. I have one of those 550W units in an ITX system and it is extremely quiet and extremely capable. Its flat cabling also helps cable management greatly. If you ever plan on going SLI, you may want to take it a step further and get one of their X series 750-850W units.
