So I ordered a GTX 760 from Ebay a couple days ago and I was planning to put it in my big (first) PC, which has a pretty much horrible 350w PSU. THen, I thought of putting it in my SG05BB-Lite MIni gaming pc, which has an i5-4460 and a GTX 750 and running perfectly even at 100% load with the 450w bronze psu. Could I put the GTX 760 in the random 350w PSU or should I put it in with the Mini PC?

First PC Specs: i3-4160T, Generic 360w psu, GT 740 EVGA SC 4GB, 2TB WD BLUE, AsRock H81M-VG4 R2.0, stock cooling, 1 fan

Mini PC Specs: i5-4460, Silverstone SFX Bronze 450w psu, Zotac GTX 750 2GB, 1TB 2.5'' 5400rpm generic drive, Kingston SSDNow v300 120gb ssd, H97M-ITX/AC asrock, CM X Dream i117, Random 120mm Fan, slim 60mm fan for exhaust(hot glued to the case xD)

I would recommend upgrading that Generic 350W supply as well.

As to the SG05 - I've been running an experiment with mine for quite some time now (the last 2 years). I have the 450W bronze in mine as well as some really high end hardware - i5-3570K @ 4.2GHz and GTX 980Ti (Upgrade from GTX Titan). I have one of those power socket meters, this little system draws up to ~370W from the wall. I've been running this experiment so long now I'd actually forgotten I had the very real danger of the power supply failing. I'm NOT recommending that you do it because it's something if I overstress one part of the power supply too much I could lose the whole system, I'm simply saying be aware of the pitfalls.
