It has the power to run it but I would upgrade in the future to a better quality supply.

A GeForce GTX 780ti needs 42 amps on the 12v + rail and a 600 watt PSU minimum.


The CX600 has 46 amps on the rail and the power connections needed. :D

Should be okay. Your psu might become a little loud, since your running it near its limits.
