The 760 beats the 270 handily.

If i have a single 6-pin PCI-Express cable then is there a 760 that comes with a 2x 4-pin Molex to 8-pin PCI-Express cable? Recommendation for a specific version please!

Could you offer more information about your power supply? If your PSU only has a single 6 pin PCI-E connector, then it may not be able to deliver enough power for a GTX 760 or other cards that needs multiple PCI-E connectors.

The 760 is the faster card, and may even be priced similarly to the 270 considering that most vendors are now price gouging on AMD cards because of the cryptocurrency bubble that's going on right now.

I'm not sure I can recommend the 760 with that power supply, it might work with the molex adapter, but you will be really pushing your luck on it, especially if you have a power hungry CPU eg. an 8 core AMD FX chip. The CX430 has 384 Watts on the +12V rail, Nvidia specs for the 760 state that it uses 170 watts of power. You're not going to have a lot of headroom with a 760 if you need to add additional devices.

It might work, but you won't have a lot of headroom for other devices, so you may run into problems if you have lots of hard drives, or have a large number of USB devices that take their power from the PC. You also won't have much headroom to overclock your CPU or GPU if you wish to do so. You might want to get a better power supply if you want to aim to go for the 760 or higher for your graphics card.
