Changing OEM Graphics card and Power supply. Mother Board help.

[Sourcecoderz]

I was Thinking of getting a gtx 760 super clocked and upgrading the PSU to a corsair 650W. The problem is I dont know if the stock motherboard can handle it. I bought my Gaming Rig 2 years ago and it is an acer predator (They dont even sell them anymore!):http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-AG3620-UR308-Gaming-Desktop/dp/B009B8E9ZO/ref=cm_rdp_product

If you look at this guys review and all of his updates you can see that he changed the OEM with a gtx 670 FTW Graphics card and 800W PSU: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-AG3620-UR308-Gaming-Desktop/product-reviews/B009B8E9ZO/ref=dpx_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1 (First One) Im Just not sure that the GTX 760 would be able to work with my motherboard. Now I know theres going to be a lot of people telling me to upgrade my PC in a whole, but I dont know where to start with pre-built ones. I just don't want to go through the hassle of building it my self and there aren't may good, cheap Pre-built PCs out there. If you have a suggestion please feel free to tell me! Please help with my current precedent as well!

Your PC is fine, do the upgrade with the 760 and new PSU and you should be gaming on high settings at 1080p for a few years to come yet.

Thank you! Now I am kind of new with Changing out pc parts and the hardware side of things (Hence why i got a pre-built computer) So is there anything I should watch out for when building it? My dad's a geek on these sort of things and he has built a few Pc's but I want to make sure (Should i get a static proof band or can I just completely unplug everything and be fine?) Also I wanted to ask about one thing. Since the Card that I have is OEM I have to change BIOS to upgrade it. In the review that I put a link to, he discuses some steps on how to do it "I have seen a lot of people on here and the web complain that this computer cannot accept any video cards except the OEM, FALSE! Here's the secret to make it work. BEFORE taking out the GT 630 boot into the BIOS by pushing DEL when the Acer boot screen comes up before Windows 8 launches. You now need to look for something called "Secure Boot" and "Disable" that function. Now look for an option called "CSM" and enable that option and it should say legacy now. Now you can shut down the computer and install the GTX card. The first time you boot up the computer it may restart at the boot screen, but on the second boot it should boot fine. At first your resolution may look incorrect but this should auto-correct in a few seconds if you are using another nVidia 600 series graphics card. If you are using another series or brand, you are probably going to have to update the drivers." Now can this be used in my case? And thanks for the quick reply!
