Get a PSU fit for the videocard.

Anything tier B at 500W or more would be plenty:

The Corsair CX550, Be Quiet Pure Power 11 500W or Seasonic GC are generally decently priced, but it depends on the store you're buying from. Sometimes there are better options depending on where you're shopping.

Buy an actual good psu or limit yourself to a card that doesn't have a pcie connector. 

If you can afford it, get a new PSU, something like a cx450 or a pure power 11 400/500w or a system power 9 400/500w or an MWE bronze V2 450w are decent options.
