So i'm looking to upgrade my pavilion 500-550na i bought a few months ago.
I want to upgrade to a GTX 960 but to do this I would need to upgrade my power supply.
Can anyone tell me if i would be able to use this power supply: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CX750-Builder-750W-Bronze/dp/B008RJZR40/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=14511...

Thank you

Maybe, but I wouldn't suggest it.
A. You dont need 750w to power a gtx 960, a good 430w PSU would work.
B. The corsair CXs are not good and best avoided do to lower quality components, there are usually better units priced similarly.
Here's some higher quality options
