Solution
Most of those will work, but you have one significant issue. That power supply doesn't have the correct connectors for that Graphics card. You need a PSU that has 2x 8 pin connectors for the card. Your current PSU only has 2x6 pin. Wattage is fine, but you need different connectors.

That's just an example. You don't need THAT particular PSU, but see where it says it has "PCIe connectors 6x8 pin"? You need two of those (so it'll say at least 2x8 pin PCIe)
