As long as your not Overclocking maybe go with an h87 board to save some money, Also why are you upgrading your PSU?

Keep the PSU, don't get a Z87 motherboard, go H97 or h87

should be ok

 

the GTX770 don't need a lot of power

the whole system is drawing 400 watts so your 500 PSU is fine but if you still worry get a 600 Watt Gold Rated

The number of fans on the graphics card makes almost no difference to the Wattage the card requires. Fans require very little power.

 

The Silverstone unit has a Capxon primary, Teapo/Capxon/OST secondaries. The ripple and regulation are mediocre. 12V rail can only deliver 408W with 34Amps. Basically, it's one of Silverstone's budget units. I would prefer that it's upgraded before upgrading to an expensive GPU like the 770.

 

You won't need 650W, but the RM Series unit is better quality. Can you find an RM550, or any other 500-550W power supplies at your preferred retailer?
