Ehh might be pushing it
check the minimum psu reqs
500w may meet the min
The gtx for 199 may only require 400 or 450w tho
Could spend that $ on an NVIDIA card instead of a radeon card cuz they utilize power more efficiently , but are generally less bang for buck at the 250 pricerange
Could just spend your budget on the best NVidia card avail and call it a day.

Best card for the price right there.
500w should be good, but that's the bare minimum I would go. You can plug all of your parts into pcpartpicker.com and it will show you what your max wattage will be
