Worst case scenario, yes, it CAN.

It probably won't damage it, but the build will underperform and the PSU could fail.

For a system using a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the non-Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 cards have a single 150 Watt 8-pin (e.g. ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC) or two 150 Watt 8-pin (e.g. MSI GTX 760 HAWK) or one 75 Watt 6-pin and one 150 Watt 8-pin (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC, EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ACX Cooler, MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming) PCI Express supplementary power connectors. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

• OEM: CWT (Channel Well Technology)
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 37.5 Amps
two 150 Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors

• 80 PLUS GOLD Efficiency Certification
