I currently have the Asus P8H61-M LX Rev 3.0 MoBo which has PCIe 2.0, i was looking to get the GTX 760 which is PCIe 3.0, would this be compatible?

Also i was thinking of upgrading my PSU to the SP Raider Edition 650W Power supply, im not 100% sure if this is compatible

Thanks for the help guys! :)

Yes and yes. The 760 will be fine with that mobo. PCI 3.0 isn't really important yet, the card will perform the same in PCI 2.0 as it will in PCI 3.0.

The PSU you selected is fine. It's not the best in the world, but certainly not the worst. It does average in the reviews, it's a bit loose on the voltage regulation, but good overall quality. I would suggest you compare it to the Seasonic M12 620w unit - there's a modular version and a regular version.
