XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670 512mb

I am looking in to buying a XFX ATI Radeon HD 5670 512mb card. However, my power supply is only 220 watt max. Is there any way i can use this card without upgrading my PSU?

Nope.

I generally recommend a 300w PSU for that card.

You can try it, but you'll probably be stressing the PSU to the point where it's lifespan will decrease faster. When a PSU dies, it is possible it can also damage other components with an electrical surge.

Those were my thoughts. I just wanted to have some verification, and maybe a chance to be cheap and not buy a new PSU ..xD haha. But anyways, Thank you very much!
