yeah... IMO u must get a decent PSU...coz 300W would be bare minimum... though it might work but i don't recommend doing that...

BTW which PSU are you currently ? is it local brand ?

U must buy atleast one of the below :
1) Corsair CX400W or VX450W
2) Seasonic 450W
3) or FSP Saga II 450W

- depending on your budget....
