Solution
For a system using a single GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 42 Amps or greater and that has at least one 75 Watt 6-pin and one 150 Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. There are some non-reference design cards that require two 150 Watt 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)

Your Intel i5-4670K is a Haswell processor.
