gtx 760 will run fine on a good 500 watt PSU but your PSU is a stock one so not good enough i would recomend xfx 550.

Currently I cant' boot my system up with my PSU when my graphics card is installed. I was suggested to try a new power supply because it seems to be the problem.

There cheap, but probably not as safe as a more expensive one. Seasonic is great quality, and I found one here that suits your needs at the correct wattage, here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

By stock he means PSU's that do not have bronze certification or higher, and usally comes with pre-built PCs. Stock PSUs are cheap and not power efficient.

The PSU has enough wattage and AMPS to run gtx 760 but the quality of the PSU is not good at load it can give up easily.

xfx , seasonic, rosewill capstone are some good brands for PSU.
i suggested the xfx because its the cheapest among these.
