Hi Guys,

in the specification it says: DUAL PCI-E CONNECTORS
1x 6 Pin and 1x 6+2 Pin PCI-E power connectors are included to support a high-end graphics card.

You'll be just fine, assuming you aren't overclocking your CPU. With a stock CPU and a GTX 770, you'll be looking at around 325w at gaming load for the entire system.

If you are overclocking the CPU, and plan to overclock the GPU, I would recommend a new power supply.
