Something in the 500 - 650 watts range would be fine.

You are being fed a line of BS. The recommended power supply for the EVGA GTX-760 SC is 500 watts. And your graphics card is the only power hungry part in your system. I will include a PSU calculator at the bottom. An 850 watt PSU would power a high end system with two high end GPU's. I prefer the PSU brand of Seasonic.

There are four screws to install it. Then you just have to follow the instructions to determine what plug goes where.

Sure, it will work.

Of the two, I think you already answered your question. For the same price, the Seasonic is the best buy.
