Hello everyone, im willing to buy The 7770 HD GPU ive looked it up on the internet and i found out its pretty good for 2014 and upcoming games i was just wondering if it would work on my 350 WATT power supply or do i have to upgrade my psu to avoid any issues and the new gpu would run safely on my pc thanks

If your PSU is 350W chances are it's old or designed for a low power rig. My advice, buy a new PSU, and don't cheap out on it. Worst place to try and save money is in the PSU.
 
What brand and model is the PSU? The HD7770 uses around 80W, just enough to need that PCIe power cable, but it is not otherwise a power-hungry card.
The GTX750 or GTX750Ti are both more powerful than the HD7770, but need no external power connector. If in doubt, and you have no specific requirement for an AMD card, one of those would be a viable choice for you.
