Ontopic: Yeah you can use a 300 for it but tell us other details, like your GPU etc, cause it might need you to get a higher rated SMPS ..

i guess a 300w is a lil low, a 450-500w will be better, also if he is upgrading, he doesn't need to think abt it twice

@Golumolu

your old one may be around 2years old(that my guess) so better get a new 400w smps.

By all means get one with more wattage and preferably a better known brand.
From lesser known brands like Zebronics and Powersafe to well known and costlier ones like Antec, Coolermaster, Corsair etc.

Happened to see a Coolermaster 380W SMPS for just Rs.2100/-
