Solution
yes, your PSU will be able to run with that card for the meantime, when you can get another PSU, get one. It will be completely fine for the meantime.
Hi and welcome to the forums!

Sapphire, they have a better cooling solution over the gigabyte cooler. The Sapphire offers not only better cooling, but less noise also, best to get the sapphire! It's a bonus that it has three years warranty also, but check what they mean by "limited" warranty, often they have a catch with longer warranty periods.

Your PSU is fine, and will run both of the cards fine, but it is very old. I would upgrade it soon if you can't afford a new one now, but it'll run the GPU. for the meantime. later on, get a Corsair CX 600, it is cheap and reasonably quality PSU, a good choice for an un-overclocked system.
