Take a look at the PSU section in my "Configuring a Computer" thread (linked in my signature). There is a hyperlink in the thread to a PSU calculator.

The calculator referred to, a great tool,  probably comes out to about 400 watts.   I'd go with a 500-600 watt psu.  I like more than you really need.

I mean, a HD7770 is an older card. I personally would say get a really nice 750 watt. That gives you room should you ever decide to had another card, start overclocking the future... a while not going extreme overkill.
