350W PSU with GTS 250?

[firstnamelastname]

Hey so earlier today the psu in my desktop died.

I have an older psu rated at 350W, specs are as follows:

+3.5V 28A
+5V 30A
+12V 15A
+5VSB 2A
-5V 0.3A
-12V 0.8A

+5V & +3.3V COMBINED LOAD 200W
+5V & +3.3V & +12V COMBINED LOAD 330W

Graphics card is MSI GTS 250 1GB, only one 6-pin.

Can I use it? I know enough about PSU's to realize that this is a long-shot, but not quite enough to go buy a new one without trying first.

no go. GTS250 need at least 24A on the 12v rail. the card alone will use 150w when under full stress. nvidia recommends 450w PSU for the card (non-generic one). just get new PSU. antec and corsair are few PSU maker that make good PSU

I figured as much, thanks for the reply. Could anyone suggest a specific PSU then? I would prefer not to spend much more than $50 on it unless necessary, but I don't want something else thats going to die after 3 months(I only paid $40 for the dead PSU).
