Hey, I have been wanting to get this Gigabyte gtx 770 but I don't have any 8 pin power connectors on my PSU other than for sata on the mb. Would it run just as good with my PSU? could I overclock it? Or do I need to get a new psu if I'm going to make this much of an upgrade.

the tx 650 should have an eight pin power connector on its pci e connectors. it will just be a 2wire clip that goes on the side of the 6 pin pcie connector. i just looked at a pic and it definately does. that will be sufficient for powering a 770

The specs show that psu has 2 6+2 pin pci-e connectors. 6+2 connectors work in 8-pin and 6-pin slots so it should work fine with the 770.
