Hello :) 
So after spending like 10 hours reading through this forum I came up with the following build:
-Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 770
-i5-3570K
-MSI Z77A-G43
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Those are just the parts that affect the PSU.
So I already have a 500W PSU : http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?I...
Taking the wattage of the GT770 to be 600W -> 600/12 + 20 = 70 amps (I found that formula somewhere in this forum)
So can I get away with this PSU? I won't be using the PC on maximum load. It's mainly for LoL and D3 :)

You will be on the edge, and also Zalman isn't a name associated with quality PSUs. Get at least 550w good quality PSU. What options do you have in your country and what is your budget?

Budget is quite limited. Which PSU would you recommend? (Living in the UK)

This is pretty good quality PSU and it will handle both i5 3570k and GTX 770. I hope £44 is good price for you
