Hi,
I am considering upgrading my graphics card. The 760 seems like it would be a large boost in performance. I just have a few questions to ask.
Am I correct in assuming this performance increase would be substantial? Is there anything similar in price you could reccomend over this?

I also would need to upgrade my 460W PSU for this. Is a 500W PSU enough?

Thanks,
G

The 760 will make a noticeable deference. The price to performance is correct. You can rest easy its time and a good card. I would just get an aftermarket cooler model

Thank you for the responses you guys. I know this isn't the Power Supply forum, but I would still like to know, is 500W enough to support this card without any issues?

The 760 byogamingpc recommended requires 500W and 38 amps on the 12V rail, you should be fine

that would give you a bottleneck but not huge

What does that mean? Sorry I don't have a whole ton of experience with these things.
