Possibly.
A 7860K is a 65W CPU and a 750TI being 60W.... with the balance of your components (RAM, HDDs, Motherboard etc) adding a theoretical max of somewhere in the region of 90W.
That puts the total a little over 200W, theoretical max. A setup is unlikely to ever be pulling close to that (I'd expect yours, even with the GPU to top out at 175W).
If it's a quality 250W and is actually capable of 250W continuous (oposed to peak power), it should have no problem.
That being said, I'm not aware of a 'quality' 250W PSU in all honesty.
I'd suspect you *should* be fine, but the only way to know for sure is to try it

Well you have the APU. I'd recommend you purchase a R7 250 for dual graphics along with the APU. Uses very little power and gets better performance than the GTX 730 Ti. Did i mention it'll be very cheap also?
R7 250-

Best option here for you. Expect to see GTX 750 Ti or R7 260X Performance. But hey you already have the APU so why not put it to use? Good Luck!

A graphics card which does not need an aux 6 pin pcie power lead will run off of the pcie x16 slot power.
That is a max of 75w from the slot.
To date, the strongest such card was the GTX750ti.
But, the upcoming GTX1050 and GTX1050ti look to be stronger with even less power requirements.

Depends which one of us you were responding to.
A 750TI looks like it'll do 60FPS on epic (at 1080p) in Overwatch (although the A10 might limit that a little)

With GTAV, a mix of ~highish settings looks to run ~30FPS (again though, the A10 will probably reduce that)

You should see a pc slot once you take the side panel off of your computer. The PCI slot is located on the motherboard, similiar to the picture here- http://www.playtool.com/pages/vidslots/mballslots.jpg
Anyways you then insert the GPU into the slot and install it. Once your finished i recommend you install DDU, Link here- www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
Install that software once the GPU is installed and boot the system into safe mode( The program will prompt you to boot the computer into safe mode) Select Yes. Uninstall both AMD and Nvidia drivers. Then go to AMDS latest website and pick up their drivers.

However make sure you purchase the R7 250 as the R7 250X is not supported with this CPU.....
Best of luck!
