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.
