Hi,im planning to buy cheap hd 7770. My psu is 400w and 15a on +12v rail. Cpu is duo e8400. I have 6 pin adaptor. Will i be able to use games like nba 2k17 on 1680x1050 resolution and low details?

An e8400 + 7770 (+other standard components) would pull around 200W max theoretical load.....

A good quality 400W PSU should be sufficient, but it'll depend on the make/model & age of the PSU.

I believe a 7770 requires 12a on the 12V rail, so it sounds ok - but if you have a PSU will misleading specs etc, or that's particularly old/deteriorating, it may be an issue.
