The Zotac is mainly sold in India.

cooler master thunder 600w is a poor quality PSU. Only the V and VS series are any good per http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

GTX 760 is a decent card with enough "power" for high/ultra settings in most newest games (@ 1080p) but for that price I suggest you to go with a R8 280 which would cost a few bucks lower and also beat GTX 760 in almost every game. Also the power this card consumpt is on the same level with 760.

Btw CM Thunder is a bad PSU. You'd better go with another one for ex. Seasonic S12-II series 620w.

The GTX760 is a great upgrade from the 650, the CM PSU is not the best but will do the job fine. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_760_TF_Gaming/27.html

Try an Asus GTX760 eg 20,000inr - http://www.flipkart.com/asus-nvidia-gtx-760-direct-cuii-oc-2gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdw75ztnuefcaf
and Seasonic 520 PSU 5000inr - http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-s12ii-520-watts-psu/p/itmd5xz5hzvzt9cx

Also the whole system without GPU would consumpt ~100 watts and under pick load those cards consumpt about ~300 which would result into 400+ watts in total.

On the V12 rail 520 Seasonic got 480, so there is few extra capaticity to work with which is not quite a good thing for PSU. 620 model tho got 576 watt on V12 rail which is plenty even if you would try to overclock anything.
