I am planning to install a GTX 770 PCIe x16. In the specs, it says that the GPU needs a 6 pin power, and an 8 pin power connectors. My power supply Cooler Master i600 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply has both, but I want to install a wireless network adapter (Asus PCe N10). If I install the GPU, all the PCe power is gone. Does the N10 not need power, and if it does, is there another similar priced PSU that works?

The GTX 770 uses 230Watts by maximum, so it WONT take all of the power in the PSU. You also have to add the power consumption of the CPU (And all the other components).

A PCI-E Wireless Network Adapter would only use 20-30Watts, so I think your PSU would work well.

A GeForce GTX 770 needs 42 amps on the 12v rail and a 600 watt power supply , with 1 - 6 pin and 1 - 6+2 PCIE power connection.

The Coolermaster i600 has 48 amps on the 12 v rail and 2 - 8 pin connections so you are all set.

Wireless card is slot powered , so that's good to go also.
