Are 300w enough?

DISCLAIMER: I don't know if this post is supposed to be here or on PSU category, i'm sorry if it's in the wrong place

 

Hello, in this days i found a friend willing to sell me for 20€ his 750ti(better then nothing), the problem is, i don't know if my psu will handle it, the full configuration will take around 190w. The PSU is a Lite-On PS-6901-09AB:

 

5V  16A

3.3V 8A

12V1 10A

12V2 16A

+5Vsb 2.5A

-12V 0.3A

 

I'm dubious about the combined 26A on the 12V rail.

My pc is an Acer TC-710 and the specs are:

i5 7400

1TB HDD

12GB RAM DDR4

1 DVD/CD Sata drive

 

I was wondering if the psu is enough, for if it isn't, i won't be able to change it right now.

It will suffice in terms of power, but please change it before it kills your system.

liteon isn't always bad...

 

this one just isn't meant for much more than the current config, so replacing isn't a bad idea

I exaggerated a bit! :P

26 on the 12 volt might be a bit little, and liteon does have some ok units, but aftermarket will be much better

 

if you had to replace it, what would your location and budget be for a new one?

I'm from Italy, thing is, right now i can't afford a new psu, the question is:will it blow up on me after a few weeks or will hold his own until i can take a new psu(5-6 months probably)?
