Hello everyone!

As the title says, I'm planning on trading my R9 270 non-X for a GTX 760 but would it yield any performance increase?

And can the GTX 760 run on a 500w Chieftec unit with 37.5 amps on single 12V rail? I have 1 6+2 pin connector and as far as I know it's enough for the GTX 760.

My CPU is a G4560 alongside with 8 GB of DDR4 memory. I also have 2 120mm fans and 2 controllers for them, and a 7.2K RPM HDD.
 
Solution
760 would be a decent step up to a 270.

You should not browse facebook using integrated graphics with a cheiftec psu, that is a fry your computer gabage-can grade PSU.
