Greetings!

I previously posted a thread about the ASUS R8 280, but I have decided against purchasing that card because of well-known artifact issues! Don't want the trouble.

I have now decided to purchase an ASUS GTX760 (http://www.asus.com/au/Graphics_Cards/GTX760DC2OC2GD5/).

However, before ordering, I would like a professional to check if it was compatible with both my motherboard and PSU.

Here is a link to the motherboard: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/

Here is a link to my power supply, too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Thanks for any replies in advance! :)

I'd only change the PSU: When it dies or if you go for a modular replacement to tidy the case interior and improve cooling airflow, otherwise it easily meets the requirements for a GTX 760.
The motherboard uses PCI-E 2.0 but the GTX760 you have in mind will suffer no noticeable performance loss, my HD7950 is PCI-E 3.0 and it's on a PCI-E 2.0 MB and I regularly see games loading it up to 100% (GPUZ monitored).
