Yes, you have a quality PSU and should have no issues running a GTX 760. I would recommend the MSI GTX 760 over the Asus.

the PCI-E slot on the motherboard is good for 75W and each 6 pin PCI-power connecter is another 75W and each 8 pin connector is 150W. So, if your graphics card has 1 6 pin connector the most it could pull is 150W (75 from the slot and 75 from the 6-pin connector) and that is easily handled by a good quality 500W PSU. so if your GPU has 2 6 pin connectors, it would be 75+75+75 watts, or 225W, which is starting to get into the 600W+ power requirements.

Take your wattage and divide it by 12 (for 12V) and it will give you the basic 'amps' the card will pull, so a 150 watt card will basically need at MAX 13A, so that gives you an idea of how much your 12V A rating will be impacted by the GPU. The rest of it will be taken by your CPU
