Debating if I should buy the LDLC PC10 Fortress, but can the 350w PSU handle the load? Or should I upgrade? It's not stated which company made the PSU so I fear the quality might not be ideal and lower the life expectancy. Thanks in advance for your help.

That power supply isn't going to be high enough quality for me to say go ahead and do it, the PSU in my opinion is the most important things in a PC if you overlook the PSU and get a bad quality one it can destroy the rest of your system.
It it were a high quality 350W PSU then it would be enough, but there are very few quality 350W PSU, most being rated higher wattage than that, and it's almost certainly a piece of junk because it's bundled with a case and also the lack of major branding, although some might feel Foxconn is a major brand yet they make a large % of the lowest end junk PSU that are bundled with cases.
So the answer is no, I wouldn't use the included PSU with ANY build, let alone one with the extra load of a video card instead of using integrated video. Often I wish they'd just knock $5 off the price to be able to get the same case(s) without those junk paperweight PSUs.
