I wanted to upgrade to the gtx 760 but i don't know if my PSU of 486 W + 2 fans would be enough (80+ bronze)
My CPU:Intel xeon W3656 3.2 ghz
Ram:16 gb

Recommended for a GTX 760 is 500Watt so your PSU is probably just enough for the 760. i would upgrade to like a 550W or 600W just to be on the safe side but if you cant do that, it would run fine on your current PSU too.

There is much more to a PSU than its labelled wattage and efficiency rating. That wattage may not even be reachable in real-world situations, and that bronze efficiency badge could be inaccurate. And wattage isn't the only thing you should be looking at. You don't want to be powering your components with out of spec voltages or insufficient protections.

Your build is going to draw under 300w at high loads.


Please provide you power supply model number.
