You will be fine. But 1. You are going to bottleneck the 780. A lot. 2, Nobody will ever give you a 780 for a 660ti+ 100$...

I wanna upgrade to a Palit GTX780 but I'm unsure if next PSU is sufficient. I'd like to have so. Even advise.. I can trade My current gpu + 100€ for a Palit jetstream 780

Euros not dollars and yes you friend wants to trade hence it's overpowered for LoL

The Phenom x6 is a power hog so it would be a little iffy

Well, you're friend is getting the mother of all bad deals. Your PSU is fine, but your PC isn't....You'll see some prettttty significant bottle-necking with that CPU. I'd think about upgrading that first before upgrading your GPU, otherwise you'll just continue to see diminishing returns compared to the full performance said GPU is capable of.
