Your PSU is a bit on the lean side, but it should do fine. I would look into getting a new one sooner than later, but it wont ruin your fun now.
First you have to uninstall the old drivers using a driver cleaner, then you remove the old card, plug up the new, and get new drivers. Update when you get it for more help if you need it.

EVGA PSU's are amazing. Corsair PSU's are decent for the money. Shoot for about 600-750w and anywhere between Bronze 80 plus to Gold. The CX750 by Corsair is one I have in my Girlfriend's system and I have to admit it's solid. 750 is a bit overkill for your needs, but might as well future proof just a bit.
