Which power supply do you have? If its the 400W one, you have a lot of options.

Just open the side panel and look at the label on the PSU, it will give you the rated wattage.

it is a 310w powersuply 80+gold

That's not leaving you a lot of options, you will have to upgrade to the 400W or 500W, depending on your budget, and then grab a new graphics card.
