That depends entirely on the quality of your PSU. A very good 350W PSU with a ~25A rating on the 12V rail should be able to run just about any single-GPU setup.

The big problem is that relatively few PSUs actually qualify as (very) high quality and that's why GPU manufacturers often "require" (more like recommend) a 500W PSU to run their 100W cards.
