Now i have an HD 7850, upgraded my cpu to an i5 4570 and changed my mother board also to a b85 not so long ago. I was wondering if my PSU is strong enough ( http://www.dateks.lv/en/cenas/73/75122_forton_600w_apfc... ) It really doesnt even have a pci-e 8 pin..

Chances are that the GPU package comes with a couple of adapters for the 4+4 pin. With 600 watts you should be ok.http://www.amazon.co.uk/GeForce-DirectCU-Graphics-Expre...
I orderd this one, do you think this one comes with it ?

Your PU is advertised to have 2x6+2 pin PCIE power cables and has 630 watts of power, minimum requirements for your cards are 8pin (6+2) + 6 pin (6 and dont plug the +2) with 600watts of power.
I theory, it should handle your new GPU, BUT the new CPU takes 84 watts of power + 600 for your card, and I'm not counting the other components. New PSU, you need - Yoda
I suggest you grab something like this :

I wouldn't advise it. Get the new PSU, put it in, and then be satisfied with it. What happens (although this may not necessarily happen to you) is that you run the 770 with your current PSU, you're complacent with how it's running. You put off ordering that new PSU. Then you start getting power failures, maybe some ruined components, and you make a thread on Tom's asking why is X, Y, and Z happening. People tell you it was your PSU, and you're out some money because you probably have to replace some components.

First of all I don't understand why'd you go an do that. You always make sure your PSU is up to the task for upgrades. Your PSU like iceclock said needs upgrading. Any high quality 650W PSU will do the job. XFX, Seasonic or Corsairs HX and TX series.I would really like an modular. So i can go with this one, correct ?

P.S I dont really know much about the inside work a PC, im not that smart when it comes to this.

The CX series PSUs are level-entry PSUs, they use cheap caps and are ment for basic builds. The GTX 770 is an enthusiast/high entry card and deserves the same quality in terms of PSU. I belive the TX and RM series are good quality PSUs, modular and fairly cheap in terms of the quality they bring.
The PSU iceclock suggested also works well.

You could just try with the PSU you have, if the PSU is not up for the task you'd just get shutdowns and eventually kill the PSU but not the rest of the components. The XFX XTR 550G is relatively cheap and fully modularThis isn't the case for all PSUs in that case the PSU has a fail safe to prevent frying your components so it quickly shuts down however, some cheap low quality PSUs will just fry your system regardless.

So i just tried it a little bit for testing purposes, probably not the best way to do it but i did it for lols, Just from the begining with out no drivers i had it really like sloppy, sluggish opening browsers and after that did some performance tests smelled something i didnt like ( like burning ) turned my pc off asap, card is really big getting it inside my case with struggle lol, gonna buy the PSU that iceclock suggested looks good and is fully modular, thanks for all the help guys !
