If you're buying something new, get something above 400W of decent quality. That last bit is supremely important.

you don't since 300W should be fine. however if your unit is old and nonamed, I don't think it's capable of delivering more than 200-250W. if I were you, I'd change it. remember, psu powers and protects all your precious stuff inside;)

Try it and if you have any symptoms then get a new PSU. And I'm sure you will (I kind of doubt he have a high quality 300w)

don't think your rig will actually explode. you should be fine for now if past days didn't reveal any troubles with daily usage, just avoid benchmarking lol. get something better next month. branded units with longer warranty should run you at least to 2020

Mouse lag, flickering, reboots, lockups.

None of this is happening.:rockout:
But if something happened (Mouse lag, flickering, reboots, lockups) I will change my power Supply directly.

Thank you all for your help :D
