I own a ASUS Desktop K31ADE Pre-Built, I am able to run games fairly well on a terrible GPU (I don't really care for perfection graphics, its mainly FPS with the game looking well I look for)

My PSU is 120 Watt and I currently own a GT 710.

You're going to need at least a 300w PSU to be able to run the 750ti reliably. The reason that that low of a PSU is in your prebuilt is because it only supplies enough power to run those components as they should. In conclusion, no you can not run the 750ti. The 750ti takes a maximum of 68w which is more than half your PSU. I recommend upgrading to a 300w PSU before upgrading to that GPU. You can find some nice bronze certified ones for around 40-50$.

I currently have the exact same computer as you, and I purchased a GTX 750 TI OC 2GB for it, people said it wasn't going to work because of the power adapter only having 100-240 watts, well guess what, It's been a year since I have my graphics card in my computer, I even upgraded the RAM, and it works like a charm. Actually I bought a GTX 1050 Ti 2 days ago :) If someone doesn't believe me I can send proof but whatever. I had to create an account to say that YES you can upgrade your Asus K31ADE with a new graphics card/ram doesn't matter, you can. I also have 2 monitors plugged in, everything is working perfectly.
