Graphic card power supply question

Solution
Hi

The importand bit of specification in link you provided is both 6 pin & 8 pin PVI-E 12V connectors required and minimum PSU 500Watts

you may have to look carefully at PSU to see label giving power rating on 12V, 5v, 3,3V -12V lines but many cheap PSU do not have both 6 pin & 8 pin PVI-E 12V cables & connectors even if rated at 500 or 600 Watts

It is probably a generic brand so it doesn't really supply 500W for the 12V rails.
I would replace it with a well-known brand: Antec, Corsair( AX,HX,TX), Seasonic or XFX) 550W is enough. I wouldn't want to run a GTX 760 with that power supply, it could cause damage to your components if you use it.
