Nope. 

I wouldn't recommend it. since its a two rail PSU, it might blow one out if you tried to add a 960 to the system...

Does it have 6 or 8 pin PCIe power connectors?

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

If you get the 750 Ti that does not require external PCI power, than this PSU should be just fine.

 

However, if you get a 750Ti with a more beefy cooler that does require PCI power (like the FTW edition by EVGA for example) I would recommend getting a slightly better PSU....

i don't know if 360 watts is enough to run your GPU the ram definitely but the processor might use more watts under load which could cause power failure

It doesn't appear that this card takes power from an external PCI power adapter coming from your PSU. If that is the case, then this card should be fine for your PSU.

 

However, I would recommend that you get the EVGA SuperClocked version of this card. (http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorkomponenter/222078-evga_geforce_gtx_750_ti_2gb_superclocked&atcl=search:result) It does not draw PCI power from your PSU (which means it will work with your PSU) and it has a better cooler, higher clock speeds, and is an overall better card for about the same price.

that actually depends on what brand you get, that only apples to the reference design. and anyway, if you going down that track i would recommend the sapphire r7 260X, or if you want the 750Ti, the gainward version is my pick of the bunch.

That PSU is somewhat reliable. Reviews are favorable and it comes from a reputable OEM (FSP)

Quality-wise is way better than a CX430, it also comes with 1x6 Pin + 1x6+2 pin PCI-e connectors, because of the simple reason that Acer used it for their "gaming" prebuilts back in those days. He's lucky that Acer decided to put such high quality PSUs in those PCs, so he could put a GTX 970 if he wanted.

 

Also I've found this xD: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/power-supplies/35707-psu-related-gpu-issue.html

Not to mention that the HD 5850 more power hungry than a GTX 960

This is a signature.

That PSU is more then enough to run a 750 Ti, and considering that you have a locked CPU and PSU is rated for a decent 80+ Bronze, it'd likely be fine running a 960 as well.

 

As stated above this PSU was used in higher-end OEM PCs by the likes of Acer, running perfectly fine with cards like the GTX 460, which use more power then the 960.

 

So how much W do i have in my psu?

450W
