I need a new new psu for my work station, the dell percision t5500 

it has 2 xeon x5560 CPU's and currently has a 875 watt psu 

I want a gtx 770 but I dont have the right connectors I only have 2 pci 6 pin connectors ( including the one connected to my current gpu)

and I know the 770 needs a 6 pin and an 8 pin 

I also need 2 8 pin EPS power connectors, one for each cpu. 

I also want a psu that I can can put a better card in if i want to or run it in crossfire if i get a second 770 

so here is a list of things i KNOW I need, if you guys need to know anything else just say I should reply

 

2 8 pin EPS connectors 

1x 6 pin pci e connector 

1x 8 pin pci e connector

room to expand so I can put a second gpu if i like

of couse the essencial stuff life the mother board connector and stuff like that

and if possible I would like it to be modular

 

I have thought about just using a small second psu and just connecting it to the gpu and nothing else but i feel like that is kind of asking for trouble... and if its fine to do that then tell me because I do have a second psu laying around

 

I really hope that there is a psu that has all my requirments, like I said just ask me if there is any other info you need.
