I have had this PC for a couple of years now, one that a friend of mine built, and I feel it is time to upgrade, as I want to get more into PC gaming as the new gaming generation begins. I have never tried to upgrade my gpu before, so I am pretty anxious about doing this.
I already know the gtx 770 is the one I want, and it seems to be a good match for my system, however I am still concerned with the PSU.
This is the gpu I want, and it seems to be a good deal.

The minumum psu requirement for this one seems to be 600w, so I assume it would work fine, but I've been told that there is more to it than the amount of wattage, so I am just wondering if my psu will work with this GPU.
The PSU I have is the Corsair CMPSU-650HX. It doesn't seem to have 8-pin connectors, though I was told I could use a 6+2 adaptor the GPU comes with, so I am assuming that isn't an issue, but I digress. What do you think? Is my PSU good for this gtx 770?

I hope I have supplied enough info. Replies appreciated.
