600W is enough power for it, nvidia recommendation is 500 so u're good, standard 760's are available for 250 and OC ones for ~10$ or so more

Would I still have enough power for my CPU to boot? I ran into that problem with another card with similar power consumption levels as the GTX760.

Which would you recommend for use with a 4-pin connector?

Just stumbled across this...

Reason 7 is awesome! Been using it to make music since Reason 6 (Previously Logic Pro 8).

Anyways, what do you mean by you can only use the 4 Pin CPU power connector? That shouldn't matter if you'll have the two 6 pins in the GPU and whatever you had previously for the CPU...

I know you've probably already bought, and I'd like to know what you did, but I was just wondering.
