I recently got my hands on a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3x and was wondering if my current pc can handle the upgrade to it.

My current pc is an ASUS - CG8250-NRCH51
Intel Core i5 2320
8 GB RAM
500 wat power supply
and an GeForce GTX 560 Ti which will be going.

I don't know much but i'm pretty sure i need a stronger power supply so i'm looking to buy a 750 wat one, this should be enough right? But i'm not sure if my cpu can handle it. Like i said i don't know much so if any kind people on here could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm not sure, it's the one that was in the pc when i bought it long ago. Here's a picture of it if that helps.

One more thing, i've noticed is that the cables that go from my power supply into my current graphics card are two six-pin cables but the GTX 770 has one six-pin and one eight-pin one. If my power supply is sufficient could i get some sort of adapter to turn the six-pin to an eight-pin?

Thanks for the help hdgaming.
