Yes! definitely. The PSU is the most important part of the PC.
What GPU are you getting? I'll suggest you a great PSU. :)

I agree with Kelly particularly because of the age of your old processor. Over time, power supplies become less efficient, ripple and other technical stuff that takes too much time to explain. If you have a Core2 CPU, you would definitely want a newer PSU.

What is your budget?

Pls no call me Kelly. But you're right.
I was going to suggest him a PSU with very low ripple and good voltage regulation.

There is no such thing as a 760ti, but yeah the 760 is a great card.
I'll find you a PSU, give me a minute. :)

You're going to have to spend double that to get a decent PSU, unfortunately.
Here is a great option: http://www.czone.com.pk/power-supply-thermaltake-power-...
Do you have any preference for the website you want to order from? :)

Oorre! Aap tick heh? :D 

As mentioned earlier I too would advise on a PSU upgrade. Try to purchase any SeaSonic, XFX, Antec, Corsair or EVGA PSUs. For the GTX 760, try to get at least a 500W PSU and you should be fine.

All the best. :)

The Nvidia GTX 760 is the best card by far, out of what you have listed. :) 
I use one myself and play a LOT of CS:GO.

Salam :p 

Get a normal power supply like 450W-550W it will work for you. the price at regal center is 3500PKR for 550W you can go lower price if you wanna buy 460 cooler master like 2000RS :p  olx is the option you have got now buddy !!
