I think the PSU is local make, so you need to replace that as well. Else you cannot run the GPU.

If the PSU is branded you would have mentioned the name of vendor. If the PSU has a 6 pin PCI-E connector than go for the above mentioned GPU, it could support the GPU, but I have my doubts.

Else go for this one, decent in performance, and no need for extra power from PSU :
