Yep you're good power wise a HD 4830 requires 26A on the 12V rail.
400-500W psu will power the card provided it supplies the amperage and yours does.
Clean your case and components like heatsink,fans,etc.
Temps will drop.

Personally i would never buy a 2nd hand gpu unless i knew the person.
From the sounds of it you're on a budget,which is fine.
Honestly i would buy something new and current with a warranty.
Plenty of decent cards under $100 like 5570/5670/5770
GTS 250/GTS 450
