Theres only one way to find out. IIRC your PSU has dual 12V lines @17A each with a max combined output of 19A for 2 seconds or something silly like that but without knowing the loads it's impossible to say for sure.

I don't know the power draw that card will have and I don't know what draw your power supply already has

newegg claims 300W, but they are probably wrong
