What is the graphics card and the rest of the specs? but it would probably be a safe bet.

For future upgrades, I recommend you get a better PSU.

If your GPU has a max usage of 300 Watt and your PSU only supports that much, you will need to upgrade it considering that RAM, your Motherboard, HDD etc also use up some power.
This means that when the GPU is drawing in 300 Watt your system will not be getting enough juice, which is never good if you want to continue playing
