Yes, the R7 250 is only a 65W gfx card maxed out. That's only 5.4 amps on the +12V rail. Unless you have a really cheap PSU, it should be fine. What is the +12V rail rating on your PSU?

Quality/modern 300w is fine for that system.

400 is slightly higher than needed- just to be safe in case of a poorer modern PSU. (moden PSU - after 2006)

The nameplate will be mounted on the side of the PSU. You have to open the case to see it. But if the PSU is top-mounted, chances are that the nameplate will be facing the wrong way. If you can't see the nameplate, I can almost gaurantee that you will be fine with that card and almost any low-end PSU.

If you want a card that draws a bit less power and is a tiny bit faster, look into the HD 7750. IT is a 55W card. Either way, be sure you get a card with GDDR5 VRAM and not GDDR3... for faster graphics.

Today i will buy gigabye gtx 650 1gb gddr5 can i install on 400w psu????

As long as you have a "good quality" PSU with an adequate +12V rail, yes. But you never answered me about the nameplate specs of your "400W" PSU.
The GTX 650 is a 64W card requiring 5.3A on the +12V rail. So even a cheap PSU should be able to handle that.
