I currently have a new EVGA 650W Gold power supply that my mom bought me. I was going to go with the EVGA 2GB Dual Superclocked ACX GTX 770 graphics card or the Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770 2GB (Haven't decided yet). I was wondering if my power supply could handle either of the two choices. There is no possibility of purchasing a new power supply because my mom would get pretty upset with me
Any thoughts? I'm not planning to use SLI at any point in the future nor do i plan on overclocking. Any help from the community would be awesome!

Is this your PSU? http://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=120-pg-065...
It has 53A on the +12v rails total.

Thanks, the set-up im planning on is:
Intel Core i5-4690
Cooler master hyper 212 evo
Asus z97-a Motherboard
8gb G.Skill ripjaws x series DDR3-1600
Samsung 840 Evo SSD
Western Digital caviar blue 1TB
GTX 770
Fractal Design Define r4 Windowed Case
EVGA 650W Gold certified PSU
The only concern i have is that for the GTX 770 it says i need 42 amps on the +12 volt rail. However when i was reading the specs this is what it said: +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@20A, +12V2@20A, +12V3@20A, +12V4@20A,+5VSB@3A, -12V@0.8A
Anyone wanna help clear up my confusion?

Take a look at that. The gigabyte is slightly faster at stock (overclocked) speeds. The EVGA is a better overclocker, possibly from the utilization of reference PCB, though that is speculation not necessarily fact. Can't go wrong either way.
