Hello guys,
I am really confused on my first gaming computer build, I have NEX650G PSU 80 PLUS GOLD. I have connected to it two PCI-E (one 6pin) and (one 6+2pin) from the psu to the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked w/ EVGA ACX Cooler GPU, when check the manual of the PSU it says +12 is MAX output is 20A. The question is it enough for the GPU. (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 42 Amps.) This retrieved from GPU website.

The PSU is more than enough for a 770. Your PSu is capable of a max of 53a on the 12v rails.Thanks for the fast response, is it enough to do sli770gtx
No. I run 2 770's and my power usage is close to 700w.
Depending on your other parts and if your OC'ing, Tom's rated the GTX 770 at 193-246w max, depending on what your doing. So it would be pushing it, but since the PSU is Gold Certified it will run a bit more efficient than most PSU's. Like I stated before, I would stick with single GPU options, but that is up to the OP.

Thanks guys

Yes you have enough for 770 SLI, if you desire to do that. I would stick with a single GPU, but if you need to add more power for higher resolutions, than the 770 SLI option can work. Personally I would opt for the GTX 780, if you haven't already purchased the GPU yet. Then in a year or two you can upgrade to the latest single GPU option available at the time,
