When you run a video card such as Nvidia series on low voltage, damage can result to the entire system due to inadequate power being supplied to all components.
Best bet will be to purchase another PSU. I would recommend getting at least a 850w, this way you're prepared for future upgrades.
You can check your systems ballpark requirements here:

While some will call this extreme overkill, you need to look at power output degradation over time.
As PSU's age and are subjected to heat over time, they are unable to continue to produce a consistent output power wave at their maximum range anymore.
You can find very good PSU's in the 600-800w range for under $50.00 now days.
My 1200w PSU was only $89.00 and is modular so I don't have all the extra cables running everywhere.
Hope that helps you some.
If you have any more questions, let us know.
S!
