Is my PSU good enough for this build?

Hello people!

I am trying to build my own PC for the first time and my brain is attacked by paranoia so i wanted to ask for some help.

My plan is to use this PC for work and gaming.

I got CPU AMD fx8350, MOBO Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 and am about to buy MSI GTX770 OC 2GB gaming version.

Now i did not research enough about PSU-s so here are my questions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Will this PSU be good enough?

It has only 4x6+2 pins but GPU requires 2x8 pins. (Do i need PSU with 8 pins or is it ok to use 6+2?)

COOLER MASTER - RS-700-ACAB-D3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. And the second question is about PC case.

I planned to buy CHIEFTEC Libra LF-01B-OP for good cooling but again i don't know if all those fans will take too much
from the PSU.

If that one is too much, would this one be good?
