I don't think you are going to see the increase in performance you are hoping for with that setup. That card is faster than your integrated card, but the expansion slot on your laptop is only pci-e 1x, so you are probably not going to be able to utilize the full potential of the card anyway.

If you are determined to do it however, pretty much anything halfway reputable would do it. I would probably just buy a 400ish watt cooler master unit and call it a day. You don't really even need that much power for just the card.
