Will the GTX 960 work with this prebuilt pc?

Motherboard: ASUS H110M-D D4

RAM: Kingston 4GB DDR4
Case w/ PSU: Orion TBC-5825 600w http://imgur.com/a/n31ga

Yep, that spec should pose no troubles at all with the 960.

How bout a 750ti? This is the PSU http://i.imgur.com/FArsuHD.jpg

A 750ti will be pushing your luck. A gtx960 will not work, period. That unit is supposed to be 600w yet only has 20A on the 12v rail? A decent 600w unit will not only have upwards of 45A on the 12v rail, but at least 2x 6+2pin pcie connectors. How Orion actually came up to a 600w total is beyond me. Given the specs, it's more likely a 300-325w unit and given the nature of those Orion units design and quality, it's more likely a good candidate for early death at any load past @50%.

Sorry, but in order to make a profit on a cheap case with included psu, some serious amount of corners must be cut, at best that psu alone is worth @$5. A decent psu will cost about 2x what you paid for the case + psu.

Thank you so much!

Would a 720 be "safe"?

 

[Karadjgne]

Probably the 720 is a very low draw gpu, but the igpu on your i5 is probably better than the 720. If you really want some decent graphics ability, you are going to need to replace the psu. Sorry.

Ill get a new psu then what would you recommend for the build I have?

 

[Karadjgne]

Well the exact needed kinda depends on the gpu, and that depends on your needs and budget. For the price of a 960 you could get a gtx 1050ti and be quite comfortable with a good 450w unit, whereas for a little more, the Rx470 would also be a good option at 450w. If going for slightly older cards, say from ebay, you'll need to start thinking about a good 550w. Most of these are subjective, recently there's been many 650w models actually cheaper than the exact same model in 550w.

Seasonic S12-II or M12-II 520w I, Antec HCG-M 520w, Evga GS or G2 550w, XFX TS/Pro 550w (not XT) Corsair CXM 450W/550W are all very good, which ever is cheapest on sale would be best value.
