I suspect that it will fry your PSU, if you attempt to power such hungry card together with rest of the computer... and if you are lucky, only the PSU dies. Usually, this is not the case and you pay with your GFX card as well, as with your mainboard. Even if the mainboard did not die immediatelly, there will be damage on the input caps done, witch you can't see ... and can measure only when you desolder and measure the caps first on VERY expensive ESR meter + capacitancy and then solder them back and try the PSU and then desolder them again and measure - again to determine the damage done by the PSU failure
Sorry, to sound a bit depresive, but 350W PSU is really laughable these days and old one on top of that - that will fry itself...
