Tylerb0002 :

you need to buy the 330w brick first

then you can upgrade to a gtx 960

yes but you would need to make sure it was a 750 ti version that did not need a 6-pin cable from the power supply and it was not factory overclocked.

I would not run a 750 or a 750 Ti on a 240 watt power supply and feel safe about it.
