Question regarding GTX770

[rzdfn]

Hey guys,

I got a GTX770 as a gift and im wondering if its safe to plug it into my pc as im told that the recommended power is 600w. Current specs are as below.

Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
ASRock B75M-DGS
EVGA GTX 560 1GB
G.Skill Value 1333Mhz 4GB x 1
500GB HDD
FSP Raider 450W 80Plus Bronze

I would not trust a 450W that's just me. If the card clocks to its boost clock you have no idea what kind of power draw that might pull. I would clean up the current PSU especially if still under warranty and sell it to a friend and snatch yourself a 650W just to be safe. You may even consider snatching another 4GB RAM too then you're be in great shape but that's to your disgretion buddy.
