Can a 350W Power supply run the GTX 760?

Or will I need a upgrade?

No. Minimum 500w.

Nv also have a website listing such things.

It depends, really. Nvidia's requirement is based on worse case scenario of a junk PSU and the rest of the system being a power hog.

In reality the most power that card can draw is 165W during Furmark.

So if you had a very good 350W PSU with appropriate PCIE power connectors and a strong enough 12v rail to cover the 14A peak of the GTX 760 and the rest of your stuff, then you could use it.

What about a GTX 750TI?

Those consume less than 75W (PCIE slot power only). They need about 6A at most to run. I run one on a 300W Seasonic PSU with obviously much room to spare.

What's the make and model of the psu?

I don't think you will find a 350w psu with enough amps to run a GTX760

I'm seeing ones with a 27A 12v rail but it's hard to find any with 2x6pin PCIE connectors. I only looked at Seasonic 350W though.
