Just wondering my power supply is AC 230V power supply

What are the rest of your hardware specs?
TDP for GTX 770 is approx 230-250 watts per GPU.
So PSU for one GPU, it is recommend to use 500-600 watt (80+ PLUS Bronze Certified or better)

CPU:AMD FX(tm)-6100 Six-Core Processor

500W branded PSU as a minimum. Don't cheap out on the PSU- in a way it's the heart of the system more so than the CPU. Cheap ones can expload after years of use and I've spoken to a friend who described a huge bang and smoke billowing out of the back when his died!

Wouldn't that FX6100 bottleneck a 770?

[Conan Dunmer]

thanks I will keep that in mind

A good branded PSU is required. The Corsair CX600 would do the job nicely and being modular will make installation and cable tidying a doddle. Bad Motha has chosen wisely. powerhaus has made a valid point though, you might not get the full fat from the gpu. As always, once you start upgrading one thing then another needs it, then another. It's a vicious circle, but the bits look shinier each time.

Below 600-watt however is not a good idea, unless it is of higher quality.
Like a 520 or 550 watt that is 80+ Certified Gold or Platinum for example.
