Would gtx 770 run on XFX 550w Core Edition?

XFX 550w has the required amps on the +12v rail (44A) for gtx 770 (42A) and from what ive read its a quality psu but the recommended wattage for gtx 770 is 600w so Im a little worried.

Im not planning to do any overclocking.

My current PC specs:

XFX 550w Core Edition 80+ Bronze

Asus p8z77 v-lx2

Kingston Hyperx 8gb 1600 mhz

Western Digital 500GB Caviar Blue, SATA III, 7200RPM, 16MB

Kingston Hyperx 3k 120gb ssd

Intel Core i5 3570k

Corsair Carbide Series 300R Gaming Midtower, ATX

Asus DRW-24F1ST

Asus gtx 660 OC Edition

 
Solution
GTX 770 requires 230W on max load, so it will use approx. 20 Ampere.

What you have calculated (Ampere)is for the whole system, and not only for the GPU. You will be fine with XFX 550W PSU. Don't worry.
