Is the FSP 750W PSU enough for the GTX 960?

What is the model? If we do happen to find a review of it, I doubt it is good quality. And if we don't, then you shouldn't buy that PSU.

a vs 550w is fine for a few weeks if you dont overclock or have a high wattage cpu
but a new psu is a very good idea i have a friend who ran a 960 and fx 6300 on a 500w model without issues but its not the safest

That's not true, if it's an actual 500W model it is perfectly fine. A typical GTX 960 system is about 250W under maximum load.
The FSP Raider platform is not very good. I'd look elsewhere. What is your budget for a PSU, and country?

read that and get a tier 1 or 2 or a 3 if you MUST because of your budget

It's a Corsair VS Series VS550 - 550W. Would it really run with the graphics card without any issues? I'm kind of in a tough spot here, I can only choose between FSP Raider and the Corsair VS550. No other choices. So which one would be best?

Okay, so I've found a third option, I can downgrade my CPU to an i5 6400 from an i5 6600 and get a Fractal Design Integra M 550W PSU which is listed as a tier 3 PSU on the list, so it should be safe and reliable. Is this a good choice?

The Integra M is a pretty nice unit. But really, the VS550 is safe. If you can't go cheaper, you just can't.
Are you building a new PC BTW? Perhaps I could check out your part list.

Well, I'm not building it myself, it's a prebuilt from a company, I just can't build one myself as parts are too expensive here in Denmark. I'm customizing a prebuilt pc right now, currently it looks like this:
Fractal Design Integra M 550W PSU
Intel Core i5-6400, Socket-LGA1151
ASUS B150M-A, Socket-1151
HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 8GB kit
ASUS GeForce GTX960 2GB Turbo
Seagate Barracuda® 1TB
I had to swap the MSI GPU out with an Asus cause the MSI one was too expensive after all, my budget is around £800.

How much more does the Integra M cost over the VS550? Are Corsair Vengeance or CX PSUs available there?
