If its a good power supply then yes it should work and you wont have any issues if its some off brand that came with a case or some cheap model I would hesitate to install the gpu in the system with that power supply.

If I was you I would buy a new one a corsair 430 watt PS will only set ya back 30 bucks even a corsair 500 watt will be well under 50 bucks for peace of mind for the card and to avoid it being ruin from a old power supply something I wouldn't want to take a chance with.
