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

my power supply is max 500w (glacial power)
Cpu is intel i5 3.3ghz
Ram 4gb (+8gb upgrade on the way) DDR3
currently using Gt 240
1 6 pin connector
3 4 pin connector (Flat)

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

you need at least a GOOD 600w with the connectors required


need to upgrade the power supply first

So can my pc run gtx760
Or there's a 760ti
I can take 760 as my pick as well

See this link... http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications

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.
