Well since its a lower end cyberpower pc im assuming that it has a thermaltake psu (which isn't even 80% efficiency) but then again the 760 doesn't pull that many watts but i wouldn't risk it as it could make your psu use more than 80% of its total power (which is bad for a psu with bellow 80% efficiency). So i would get a new psu (something like this maybe http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600). So get a new psu before you get a gtx 760.

I looked up some info about the computer but unfortuantely I couldn't find any more details on the Power Supply besides that it's a 500W like you said. If you could open it up and look at a sticker or any labels on the power supply to see if it shows the brand name as well as the amps on the 12v rail(s). It would look something like this: "12v 30a"
But I'm guessing you will want to get a different one. Unless you got a special model or something the stock gpu in that PC is a GT 610, which takes like no power so they probably just put a no name crap 500w in there since it would be enough. I'd suggest getting a good quality 500-600W PSU from Antec, Seasonic, or Corsair.

Ah, okay. Well, unless he can find a sticker showing that it has good amps on the 12v rail(s), I would get a different one. Never cheap out on a PSU, never.

They don't. Thermaltake psu's are utter crap. I would be surprised if it had above 18a on the 12v rail.
