Hi - Your PC will accomodate that GPU, the motherboard has an open pcie x16 slot required for the GPU.
However, I don't believe your 300w PSU is enough to support that gtx760. Nvidia recommends 500w, but you
can do with less, like a good quality 430-450w unit that has at least 30amps on the +12v rail(s).
 


Yes, you need a new PSU if you want to run a gtx760 or similar card. If you have a budget $$ amount I can point you to
some choices. Beezy listed some good brands above.
