My current build :
GPU : GTX 560 2GB
CPU : Intel i5 3570k @ 3.4GHz
PSU : 750w AzzA
RAM : 16GB
MB : Asus ASROCK A77 Pro 3

I want to upgrade my card to a GTX 770, but I don't know if I have the right parts. I know my power supply is enough, but I don't know if I am missing anything.

If any of you currently have the 770 , can you please tell me preformance on a few games and what setttings?

Thanks in advance

It should run just fine with these specs. Just make sure your case is big enough for it to fit, as it's a pretty big card. I don't have one myself so I can't give you any performance feedback but it's a really good card from what I've seen. If you want to know how it performs look up some benchmarks and reviews on Google.

I wouldn't use that power supply with hardware of that calibre to be honest.

Well the card is two inches longer than my card now, and when I look in my case I have about 3 inches of space. If it doesnt find what do I do?

Not all Azza units are cheap junk. If you can post the model number or at least the UL number, I can tell you more about your unit.

UL Number:

Proof that Azza units can be really nice: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you post what case you have as well, we/I can tell you whether you'll have clearance issues or not.

The card will fit in that case no problem, but I would strongly suggest getting a better power supply. Andyson manufactures the Azza Alpha series. This nice XFX unit is $55 until the 4th.

It shouldn't be anything to worry about with the hardware you have right now, but I just can't recommend using a $400 card that uses more power with a junk PSU.

It isn't great. You may as well pay a small amount (50-70 USD) and get a quality one, than risk frying more expensive components.
