I dont know much about PSU's at all, and so i ordered a pre built computer with an i5-4670k and a gtx 770 along with a 650 Watts - Thermaltake SMART Series SP-650PCBUS 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply. Is this a good power supply? Should this be good and perhaps future proof for future single GPU upgrades?

650 should be pretty future proof as the next gen of cards look to be extremely efficient. Also the smart series is reviewed pretty well, only complaint is that it seems to be a bit noisy.

Yes this should be able to handle all the latest games and a(nother) graphics card in the future. Once you get a(nother) graphics card you might want to bump it up to 850watts but for now you shuold be fine yeah

Yeah, 650 will be plenty for any single card. And if you want to stick with NVIDIA, with how Maxwell is looking that will definitely be fine. The SMART series is a pretty good PSU, but like he said above, it is a bit noisy at times. You may consider going with an XFX, SeaSonic, Antec, or Corsair, but that's just my opinion.
