Motherboard: H81M-VG4 R2.0
RAM: 4GB
Monitor: 1366x768
Processor: i3 4150 4th gen

The problem with it isn't just that it's 240W at best with those specs, but also that it's garbage anyway. I wouldn't use anything like this with anything but an extremely basic GPU along the lines of a 5450.

Hmm well maybe i get a new one in the future, idk, for now i just wanna know if the psu will handle the card at least to play without any problem (i'm not from playing very demanding games btw) so i think the card won't use that much power and so it won't affect the psu

absolute garbage psu
replace asap

for that low resolution you would be MUCH better served by getting a good 450w power supply, 4gb more of ram, and a gtx 1050 ti

You don't seem to realise that if you use a rubbish PSU with a modern gaming GPU, the PSU could fail at any time and when that happens you may find your shiny new GPU has been damaged or even wiped out altogether - - - so that's gonna cost you even more than just a new PSU.

It's a no-brainer - - - replace the PSU now.
