this PSU handle it, or is 750 or 850 a better choice?

Yes a good 650w will easily run those specs.

Here's a better deal and it's made by ONE OF the best SEASONIC.

Or the best 750w on the market made by SuperFlower.

SeaSonic X650 is definitely good enough. But if you intend to to install a second GTX770 in the future 850 Watt PSU is a better choice.

Antec EA-650 Platinum ATX 80+ Platinum 650W is enough.
If u want to SLI(Scalable Link Interface) in future then Antec HCP-850 Platinum ATX 80+ Platinum 850W would be a killer.

thank you!

by the way, is there any side effects of using a higher wattage power supply?
for an example, would using a 750w or 850w power supply for a build that only requires about 500 watts have any side effects on the computer itself?

Dark Lord of Tech · Jul 17, 2014

No , because the computer will only draw what it needs.
