Hello, I've got a new PC recently and my specs are:
i5 4460
Asus H81-Plus mobo
Gskill 8 GB 1600 mhz ram
1 TB WD HDD
Zotac GTX 770 Amp Edition.
I was short on budget so i've got Thermaltake V3 black edition case with its power suppy (600W). My concern is will this psu enough for GPU. I don't plan OC or SLI and I'll use this pc mainly for gaming. For +12V1 output current is 28A, and +12V2 output's current is 20A. It has 6 pin and 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors on same cable. Should I push my limit for a better PSU now or can I use this thermaltake psu for now? (btw it's Litepower 600, p/n:w0355)

While 600W is enough I am not sure if this power supply is acually 600W. PSU's that come with cases are often of very bad quality. A PSU is not something you should spend less money on. If I were you I would get that thing replaced. Use this for reference: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
