Nvidia state you will need a 600W PSU to run a GTX 760. But don't just buy any old 600W PSU.

Again, "you need at least a GOOD 600w with the connectors required". Do not buy a cheap PSU - if you decide to upgrade your graphics card.

Instead of an old GTX 780Ti, I'd consider a new GTX 1060 or the RX 480. If your budget allows this ofc.
A good way to fry your system or have other problems is by using a poor quality or under-specced PSU.

This also, and what is your CPU, RAM, and other specs?

i checked the nvidia website it said gtx780ti need a minimum of 600w to run it
and the gtx760 need 500w (which fit my psu)
But can i still run gtx780ti on my PC
The performance between 780ti and 760 is 20% more i guess
