I recently bought a Asus HD 7770 2GB DDR5 graphics card for my computer, I've noticed it been overheating then compared to normal,

I need to buy a New PSU with more power then compared to the one i currently have which is a 500w.

So what PSU power would be idea? and can i still use my 6 pin to molex wire or would it be best to buy a PSU with 2 x 6 pin.

I also want to buy a new tower with 2 x fans already installed so i have checked this one and wanted an input if it would be good.

And as a addition support for the cooling system, would this be a good additional or waste of money

The PSU has nothing to do with overheating. What are your FULL system specs.

an hd7770 can run on a 400w PSU. 500w is MORE than enough.

500w is WAY more than enough here.

What parts are over heating and what are the temps?

All that pic shows is that cpretemp doe snot support your CPU. It says 0 degrees. This means your CPU is not supported.

An hd7770 is a low end card that could easily run on a 400w unit let alone a 400w unit. Power is NOT the problem as long as it is a quality PSU. What brand and model is it?

Also, what is the GPU temp?

That PSU is trash and can easily fry your computer. Replace ASAP with a unit from Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

I have looked at those makes, and they do look good but there quite expensive and outside of my budget.

I did found one which is quite popular, Arctic Red 650W Power Supply. Dunno if it's any good.

Nope, I would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. Honestly we can't really move on with fixing this problem until we get a known quality PSU in your computer.
