The specs I have seen show a minimum requirement of a 300 watt power supply. If it is a better than average power supply it might just work otherwise you might start having problems.

Looking at your current specs 250w is to low to begin with, plus your adding a card that takes up as much power as the processor, I would recomend 350w minimum for your setup, a decent 350w PSU can be very cheap if you look around
