Horizontal lines on monitor during gaming

I recently got a new graphics card (GTX 760) for my computer rig, it runs fine but during some games i see faint horizontal lines going up and or down my screen. Its not a big issue but it is annoying.
My Rig:
8gigs of DDR3 RAM
EVGA GTX 760 GPU
Intel I3 3220 CPU
500 Watt PSU
My old graphics card which was a EVGA GTX 650 did not have this problem. I have surfed the web and some say its my monitor and some say its my PSU. Some of the games i have really noticed this problem are
Infestation: Survivor Stories
Arma 3
The Secret World
I can really see them badly when it is dark ingame.
Any help will be appreciated! Thanks!

Your adapter cord probably isn't shielded. Either buy a better quality cord or a new monitor.

A digital connection? Could you explain?

As in DVI, HDMI, DP
You don't want to use using VGA unless u have to. If both your GPU and Display have a digital connection, use that.

If your old card had no issues and also ran through the DVI adapter then the monitor could be ruled out. I will agree with some of the other posts though and recommend a new PSU. That card has a 500w min recommendation from EVGA. Then there is always the possiblity you received a bad card it happens, what you described is a good tell for that.

U can probably get away with that PSU, since u are using a 55W CPU.
But I would seriously consider getting a quality 500W or better PSU.

I don't think its my monitor but then again the card says it needs atleast a 500 watt PSU and thats what i have.. I'm just still not sure what the problem is! I guess its just the garbage quality of my PSU is the problem but any more suggestions or help is appreciated.

Well thats the min, it draws 170w so your probably ok there as well if your not OC etc.

Try a different display cable.

Also try disconnecting the cable from both the monitor-side and GPU and re-connect it and secure it fully. Could just be a crappy connection.

If you using VGA through HDTV, use the tv remote or go through tv on-screen menu and auto adjust the screen. Since VGA is analog the screen might not align correctly on an HDTV, thus is what the auto-adjust/auto-align feature is for. This needs to be redone should u change screen resolution and/or refresh rate. This is another reason to use a digital connection.

I have a LCD monitor and one end of the vga is connected to the monitor and the other end is connected to a vga to dvi adapter thingy. Then that is connected to the back of my GPU

This may be dumb but make sure the card is sitting right. They can be a pain at times to pop down fully depending on your setup. Pull out reseat etc.

Then it is possible that one of those connections is loose, or has dust/dirt on the contacts.

If it is a problem with the cable/connection some how, then u should have these lines all the time; meaning in BIOS, Windows, etc... not just in Games. If it is only in games, then u have a different issue.

Ive already looked and all the connections are not loose. I also replaced the VGA cord with a brand new one that was just laying around and i still have the problem. I dont have the lines on windows though.
