why get a 6770? It's 2 generations old by now.

Try getting a R7 260X or better or a GTX750(Ti). The 260X sometimes performs a little better, but if you're concerned about power supply, get the 750(Ti), it uses Maxwell which has a much lower power consumption than Nvidia's and AMD's other architectures.

Also, what's the make and model of the PSU? A quality 400W could be enough for a 260X, a no name unit could be too inefficient.

but the Radeon HD 6770 requires a 6-pin PCI-e power connector to power the the card. If your power supply doesn't have that, you won't be able to get it to work for you without purchasing a new power supply.

You don't need a 6-pin PCI-E connector. Most video cards come with a molex adapter.

If it doesn't have one, it's very cheap and readily available.
