I recently bought myself a new graphics card, and i wanted to give my littlebrother my old. However, i am in doubt whether the PSU in his PC is powerful enough for the graphics card, and if anything bad will happen to it. (not too technical sorry.)

Anyway, the graphics card is an MSI GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II, and the power supply is this one, and has 210 watt: http://blackmoreit.com/products/s26113-e517-v50-fujitsu...

I hope someone can help me!

It won't be enough. While it might run it for a while, that PSU would be overtaxed and would eventually fail.
You can of course upgrade the PSU for a reasonable amount of money.
Seasonic S12II 620W $64.99 should do fine.
Or something else in the 500-650W range from Antec,Corsair,Seasonic or XFX.
