Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry to be a bit paranoid but is it a guarantee that my PSU will definitely be enough a GTX 760? The PSU has been running perfectly on my 5830 for almost 2 years btw

GTX 760 :

Measured power consumption single card =
1.System in IDLE = 121 W
2.System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 279W
3.Difference (GPU load) = 158W
4.Add average IDLE wattage ~10W
5.Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 168 Watts

GeForce GTX 760 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.

Radeon 5830 :

•System in IDLE = 176 Watts
•System with GPU in FULL Stress = 325 Watts

The monitoring device is reporting a maximum system wattage peak at roughly 325~350 Watts

•The card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system. That power supply needs to have (in total accumulated) at least 35~40 Amps available on the +12 volts rails.

The PSU of yours is a Tier 2 Brands quality, so the conclusion is, it can run GTX 760.
