The minimum recommended is 500 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 30 amps on the +12 volt rail.
Your PSU has a combined output of 34A between its two 12V rails. It should be good enough, in theory.

If you get crashes or blue screens in games get a larger PSU, of course.

It looks like the PSU is 80 + Bronze and should be sufficient for a GTX 760.

Anandtech did a review on a barebones PC that comes with an 450 W 80 + Bronze PSU and said it was perfect up to a GTX 760.

LinusTechTips put a 3960x or something like that, and a Gtx titan in a pc (obviously with all the other stuff needed for a computer) with a 500w psu and it ran perfect so... gtx 760 is completely fine

According to:

The Zalman ZM series PSU's under 1000 Watts are rated "Tier 2" which is considered good. You should be fine with it.
