This card (Asus GTX 760) requires 8-pin cable for the PSU. If your PSU doesn't have it, you can use an adapter from two molex connectors to one 8-pin (like this one):

However, given that your power supply is CX series (office PSU of quite average quality), I suggest getting a quality gaming PSU from XFX, Seasonic or Corsair RM series (between 550 and 650W, as long as you are using only one graphics card this will be just fine). Basically any supply from the mentioned brands has way better quality.

This cable is actually 8-pin which can also be used as 6-pin, so best of both worlds. You need just one of these and connect all 8 pins.

It is going to be OK, of course. You can max out most games today with GTX 760. And I'm talking full HD, let alone 1600x900.
