Solution
It most likely will work as long as there are no other incompatibility issues.

That card only uses around 30W, so even if you have a 95W CPU, you're still not really pushing a 240W PSU. UNLESS you have a really, really cheap PSU. How cheap? Does it say "12A" for the 12V output on the label on the side of the PSU?
