5770 an overkill?

Well yes, it is, for now. If you are looking at the long term for something that will last you a few years then the answer is no, especially if you might upgrade the monitor at some point. That said if you want a DX11 card it's really the way to go. The HD5670 would be good, but not great for your resolution and the HD5750 is just too close in price to the HD5770 to make much sense. This is a good deal;

the 5750 or the Gts250 would do but you could get the 5770 if you are planing to upgrade your rig

aTi series require less power and they run cooler
but i recommed a min of 500W psu for Gpu

Yeah, that's not very good really. The HD5770 uses about 7-8amps by itself under peak usage which doesn't leave much for the rest of the system. It may work but even if it does you are pushing that thing to the limit and it may give out on you fairly quickly. You'd be better off replacing it.
