Hello.
I am going to buy a new GPU Geforce Gigabyte 3x Windforce and i want to test it.
I have a pc with Pentium Dual Core E6600 and 450 Watt PSU, would my pc exploded or shutdown or something melt if i try GTX 760 running on this PSU and this CPU just for 1 hour test?
 
It really depends on what power supply you have. They rec. at least 500w PSU with 30amp 12v rail and two pci-e plugs. If it is a well made 450w you can get away with it. If you have a cheap psu I wouldn't recommend it. If you dont have 30amps don't do it. If you don't have 2 pci-e 6 pin plugs then you cant do it
 
first of all i wouldnt install 760 on such a low performance cpu cause it will get massivly bottlenecked.it will be a waste of money.GeForce GTX 760 - 30A and a 500W PSU minimum recomended so it could run ,if your psu can output 30A on the 12 rail as previously mentioned.
