You could try putting the old card back in, run NFR(nasty file remover) cleans out old Video Drivers, then put back the GTX760 and re-install drivers

Can you confirm that the program won't delete any important files? I've heard complains about how some programs delete important Windows files.

worcom:
impossible to confirm anything, as different computers have a host different interweaving Programs but you could make an Image Backup
of your drive first "Shadow Protect" or "Macrium Reflect" are very good.
System restore won't help as restoring the Registry does not restore deleted drivers.
Cheap way out, if boot fails due to Driver Error, run Win7 Repair enter Dos Prompt and from drive x type:  sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir=d:\windows
any windows files deleted should be restored.
If you have an 850w P/Supply that is more than enough for your 170w GTX760

Can you explain a bit further about the Dos Prompt? I don't really understand.

7th screenshot down shows the "Command Prompt"
Have a play with it before you attempt any changes, that way you'll be more familiar if you actually need to do it.

oops I forgot
  with the sfc /scannow /offbootdir=d:\ /offwindir=d:\windows
replace the letter "D" with whatever your "Boot Drive" is, in Command Prompt if you have Mulitiple drives, your "C"
Drive may have another letter, mine shows as "D"
Phew
