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?

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. :)
