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

"my computer has a 250 watt power supply"

just pulled one of them off a p120

you need a psu with atleast 16 amps on the 12v rail, if i was you and im being serious id turn that off NOW and go and buy a new psu, if that psu goes itl most likely take your machine out and could cause a fire.
