I have a 250W PSU and I Have a GTX 760 can I put IT in my PC? What will happen if my PSU is really too weak?

The power supply will be overloaded and shut down, possibly violently taking other components with it. Get at least a quality 450w unit if you want to use a 760.

Alright. I recently ordered parts for a new PC But I don't have my motherboard or PSU yet and I wanted to put my Graphics Card in my Current PC. My new PSU has 750W that should do just fine correct. Ill have a few Extra fans too.

Higher wattage does not equate to higher quality and 750w is what you'd be looking for if you were going to be running two 760s. A good 450w or 550w (if you want to have both PCI power connectors natively) would be better. What specifically did you order and what are your current specs?
