My current pc has an i5 4430 @ 3.0GHz and an Geforce gt 630. Im looking to upgrade to be able to play games i have like Witcher 2 and such, maybe Advanced Warfare or something. And from what ive read my best pair for the CPU is a Geforce GTX 770. Is that the best choice? And if so, what power supply would you recommend? Im not very confident in my computer knowledge, and i really dont want to buy the wrong thing or mess my computer up. Also, do any other components really matter to upgrade to be able to play games? Sorry for such a broad question, but im kind've stressing over this (need to have this figured out so i can try to order before christmas).

There are a lot of good quality PSUs out there. I'm kind of partial to XFX, but Seasonic, Antec, some Evga and Corsair... just to mention a few, are also good. If you want to keep the budget down, these XFX 550W are good choices:

If you want to spend more and have plenty of room for...

If you want to spend more and have plenty of room for upgrading to a more power-demanding card in the future, this is a good choice: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017
