Solution
Alright so the power consumption under heavy load (gtx 770) is 230W. 600-230=370W for the rest of your system, 600W is the minimum recommended not the minimum required, I think it should work fine.

Thank you for the fast respond the thing is i couldn't find any bigger psu on hp the max they includes was the 600w
I don't want to remove the psu to replace it so i don't void the warranty
when i contacted hp to ask about the GTX 770 they said it will work fine but who can trust sales agent
the system above will cost me $1460 includes the gtx 770 do you think i better try and build my own ?
keep in mind I never built my own before but i don't mind trying
