You need to have a 600 + watt PSU. I would recommend 750 watts.
The card may only pull 250 watts but the rest of the computer is pulling power too. RAM, CPU, Fans, ETC.
Charts also show the 770 pulls more power. According to Nvidia you need at least 600 watts. (PSU)

You could save money by getting a 2GB GPU.
Most games to this data can not use more then 2Gb of VRAM.

600 watts is fine, no single card needs a PSU bigger than 650W and with this one you could probably get away with a good quality 550W. 750 watts is simply overkill.
