question is though could I slot it in my current machine ?

will it run and not overload it?

my pc model number is p6320uk

its a hp
300w
i5-650 Clarkdale
6gb ram
1tb hardrive

oh jus wanted to point out i'm not looking to spend extra cash on upgrading on psu's or a new case ect
as I don't game enough to make it worth my while just be nice to add a better card for free if possible. it says it needs 400w but so does the 5450 apparently which came installed on my system.

300 is pushing it. I would recommend at least 400 watts for that gpu.Problem is that most 300WAtt PSU's can't deliver 300Watt stable for longer periods of time. And since a crappy PSU can damage other hardware when dying, not to mention that stable voltages are important for system stability, I would never go cheap when it comes to a PSU
