PSU Help Needed
Hello,

I am building a PC and looking to go with the following setup:

CPU: Intel i5 Quad Core 3.4Ghz 4670k
Motherboard: Gigabyte 787X-UD3H
GPU: EVGA Nvidia GTX770 2GB ACX Edition
PSU: CXM 600W Modular 80 Plus Bronze Certified

I have read on the card manufactuers website that there is a 600W minum requirement, however I have read on some forums it would be best to go for 700W+. I have also read that 600W would be more than enough if the PSU is of a decent quality.

I would imagine the PSU I have picked is a decent quality one and should be sufficient to power the above set up efficiently however I want to be 110% sure before I commit to any pruchases so I would appreciate a definitive answer if at all possible.

Thanks in advance.

A CX600M has 46 amps on the 12v rail and a GTX 770 only needs 42 , so your power supply is sufficient to run those specs easily.

Thanks for your feedback I'm sorry I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to this but are you able to recommend any other PSU's that's will do a better job of running my set up?

Well, the PSU you picked isn't what I would call decent quality; it won't burn your house down or anything but it is a pretty low quality unit (better units can be had for the same price). With that said, it will provide enough power for the parts you listed.
