So, a question:
My old rig:
cpu: i5-2500
GPU: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7970 Vapor-X 3GB
RAM: 16 (2x8) GB Corsair Vengeance
PSU: FPS Hexa 500 W
running without problems, but unfortunately my HD7970 is die...

I want buy MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 2 GB, my PUS is enough for this?
Theoreticaly, the 7970 use 250W, the Gtx770 only 230W.
But, many sites, many answers, the FSP official site's compatibility list say OK, another site recommended minimum 450W!, Nvidia reccomended 600W...So, its safe to use my PSU? i know, FSP is a quality, strong PSU.

Thanks for the answers.

If you want to check how much your system will draw.

If you want to know if your PSU is good enough, you can just google your powersupply and see what people think about it.

Thanks all, thats just a quick solution, in the near future i want uppgrage. But..i think, HD7970 is more power hungry and run fine with this system, the770 only 230W, i5=96 w, yes, i know, its pretty risky , i planning uppgrade my PSU.
