I have a Compaq Presario sg3570il PC..

Specs-http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Docume...

3 years ago, I upgraded to a 9400GT, which needs minimum requirement of 300W with a power consumption of 50W. But my computer with 180W PSU runs with 9400gt without problems.

Now i'm thinking of upgrading to a GT630,which also needs 300W with power consumption of 65W.

Will GT630 run fine on my system?

I don't think so, no. In any case, it is not a risk I'd care to take.
It does look like a standard ATX case though, so you should be able to upgrade the PSU without too much trouble. The cheapest one I'd recommend is the Antec VP-450.
