Your 300w PSu is not going to work. You need atleast a good quality 500w PSU with a gtx 760. Yes the pci-e power connection(s) are required.

no but it will give better stability for the system eg the 750ti doesnt need any but it doesnt need any pci slots but some manufactorers do have them. Though i'm wondering if you have a 300w psu what are your other parts because I smell a bottleneck also i'm not sure if 300w is enough.

you will need more power it will be dangerous to run it with 300w you can run it without using the power cables but I dont recommend it at all, also do you already have it because it will be bottlenecked(other components wont use it to it's full potential) because a 750 ti or even lower card would be a better choice, maybe even save up a little more for a full system build

I hope I helped just ask if you didnt understand what I said i'm here to help and i'll try my best as will everyone else.

You'll never see the full potential of that card in a system so old, the card will be severely bottlenecked.

you can change the psu no problem but you really wont be using the card you could get a gtx 740 and get the same performance thats what I mean.

If you really want it then you only need to upgrade the psu but to be honest I would personally prefer to get a full system for around 250, but to answer your question you really only do need a new psu.
