Answer
Either Graphics Card should work with the correct Drivers.

You should be fine with the power unless you have a monster graphics card for gaming... I would use the new graphics card if you are having problems with the old one? I would also make sure you have the correct drivers for both as you could disable the old one if you had any issues.
