Here are my parts I have already bought:

Need a good but cheap power supply that will let me overclock, eg the CPU to maybe 4,6 Mhz

Please only reply if you can recommend a PSU, I dont need any "replace i7 with i5" or "add SSD", I know what Im doing, just not sure with the PSU.

The ASUS GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2 GB [GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5] graphics card itself draws 213 Watts while running FurMark stability testing. A PSU with at least a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 37 Amps or greater and with at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors should be the minimum.

XFX TS Series 550W 80 PLUS Bronze (P1-550S-XXB9)
• OEM: Seasonic
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 45 Amps
• two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors
• Modular Output Cables: No
• Official Intel Haswell Compliance: Yes
• 80 PLUS BRONZE Efficiency Certification
• 5 Year Limited Warranty

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX650G 80PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 650W Power Supply. Amazing psu, at an amazing price.

You get 10 year warranty and should be enough if you want to sli later

650 W is enough for any single card on the market, also why I recommend it. If you want to upgrade to a bigger badder GPU in the future, it's a solid pick.

I wouldn't recommend less than 850W for sli 770s though. Sure, 750 would probably work, but I would rather error on the side of caution - if a PSU blows, its common to take parts with it.

 


The PSUs mentioned, so far, have universal voltage input (i.e. 100-240 VAC).

80 PLUS BRONZE efficiency is the minimum that you should go with. If you're willing to spend a little bit more you can move up to 80 PLUS GOLD efficiency. If the price you pay for electricity is high then it is worthwhile getting a higher efficiency PSU.

If you specify a budget range in € and whether or not you want modular output cables that would help narrow down the choices.
