600W Power supply enough?

(Sorry for my bad English I'm Italian :( )

My currently rig is :

PSU: Cooler Master Real Power M620 620w

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Msi

CPU: Intel i7 2700K 3.5 GHz

Dissipation: Cooler master 612s

Motherboard: Asus P8H67

HDD:

- HDD Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200rpm

- SSD Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB

RAM: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz

 

I would like to know if I upgrade my graphic card to a Nvidia gtx 780 EVGA with ACX cooler, the power supply would be able to manage the new graphic card (250w)?

On the nvidia site it says that the power supply needed is 600w but I'm not really sure :/

You're fine. Still say the PSU is a little sketchy though.

 

EDIT: You might run into issues if that thing goes to full load, depending on how the PSU is laid out.

you should not buy acx. my buddy has the 770 acx and it is loud doesn't oc over 1250 and is relatively hot. my 770 gigabyte goes 1340 with ease . and that around 55°C on full fanspeed and not over 70 at automatic speed. I have a 500w psu and it works great, so you should be fine too :) 

                                                                                      wow... pretty empty here...

yes but get a card from msi with twin frozr,gigabyte windforce or asus directCU II

So it's better the Asus one in your opinion? Or wait for buying a gigabyte?  For what I know the main differences are in the coolers and I know that the Gigabyte one is great but I don't know really much about the Asus one...
