I would suggest upgrading that PSU before you upgrade the graphics card as there is a good chance the new Graphics card will not work with it. And if it does may not be stable.

You could always use a Graphics card that does not need such a beefy PSU.

MSI 8400GS 256MB DDR2 DVI VGA HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer

Try that. It should be more than enough to watch quality movies and play games to a certain extent.

I wouldnt risk a demanding GPU with such a small PSU.

Or as upgrader said, just upgrade the PSU.

Peace out.
