the 7770 also requires a 6 pin PCI power lead (i had one a little while ago, but got pissed off with crap drivers for it and went nvidia!) some GPUs that require PCI power will have a molex adapter so you can draw the feed from there, but i would agree with andrewcarr and get yourself a new PSU to go with. i'd say buy the nvidia card, just make sure you get it from somewhere that supports the Step-up program and you can upgrade it for the cost of the difference between cards if you play your cards right!
