Are both my PSU and MOBO good for a GTX 760?

Solution
530w is more than enough for gtx 760 , but RAIDMAX? i never heard about this brand ..it better be a good brand ..
as for your mobo its good you don't have to worry, and of course your case can take even a bigger graphics cards.

Thanks, as for the PSU I got it as part of a combo from newegg... It was my first build, so I had no idea of the quality of each component.
The build was about $465.

its not a top quality psu, actually its a low quality ..but for your current rig you shall be fine ..i suggest you get a better quality of PSU as soon as you can especially if you will do any overclocking ( don't overclock with that PSU)

get something like Seasonic, Corsair , Antec and XFX....

Thanks for the help, as well as the advice it is really appreciated. Another fast question though... When you mention overclocking are you warning about overclocking the 760 with the RAIDMAX? Or with my current build (GTX 650) because I overclocked it a while back mainly because I was getting the 760 soon.

no, with GTX 760 its better and safer not to overclock it .. but with your current build (GTX 650) you will be fine.
