Even the cheapest "no-name" PSU's (the one's we never recommend on this board) would cost you more than that (about $13.25). You would have to wait until you can afford about 26-2700 rs. to get a decent PSU that would allow for expansion. Something like this:

Unless of course you're able to get deals that we can't. What site are you using?
 
Then use it for now while you save for a new one. A good PSU can last a long time (one of my setups is using a 10 year old PSU). A PSU will lose power over time but so do we all. I doubt it would be dangerous.
 

That's always a possibility even with new PSU's. Not that likely though. What's your alternative?
 

I mean what are your other options?
Not getting the GPU would be one alternative.
Buying a new, better PSU now would be another.
