If this is the PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171018
...it may have enough power to start the PC and run it, but if you try to run intense games that work the GTX 760 at near 100%, it probably will overload it. The 2 all-important +12V rails are only rated at 16A each.

While Nvidia recommends a 500W PSU as the minimum, that one you have is a very low quality unit that won't really be up to the task.

* +3.3 & 5V = 300W

What about this one???

For your own good, stay away from cheap PSUs like Logisys. Low end PSUs can be short lived at best and a fire hazard at worse. Here is a tiered power supply chart to go by. Stay in the top 3 tiers if possible. https://community.newegg.com/eggxpert/computer_hardware/f/135081/t/45344.aspx?Redirected=true

This is the lowest quality 500W PSU I would feel safe recommending. And then only because the PSU master, Johnny Guru gave it an OK grade: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016

Are you in the US?

Ok I was going to say sometimes power supplies are limited in different countries. But there are much better choices than the ones you've listed.

EVGA 500 $40 w/ a $10 rebate card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016

See? There's two recommendations for the EVGA 500W.

Tradesman1 · Nov 11, 2014

Sorry Clutch, missed your response on that, it is a good PSU, had a couple of them I kept in the shop for 'emergencies'. Going to pick up a couple more, they come in handy

Tradesman1 :

No prob. Always glad to have confirmation.
Yeah, I bought the EVGA 500B version of that one awhile back for another budget build. Wouldn't have considered them except for Johnny Guru's recommendations.

Tradesman1 · Nov 11, 2014

I get calls on rigs and often find older PSUs that have given it up so try and keep a few around, these are a great buy

clutchc · Nov 11, 2014

I need another PSU like I need another hole in my head. But I might grab one of those at that price. The rebate makes it even sweeter (if I live long enough for the rebate to arrive).

"If' being the operable word, though from NewEgg they are pretty good about getting them out and to you
