Yes it will be fine. A 260x draws well under 300 total system from the wall so a basic 400 watt PSU will do the job. It might not be a bad idea to save up for an upgrade in the future though because your stocker isnt going to be the highest quality or even high quality and a decent GPU sucking down the juice will shave a few years off it.

it depends on the brand of the graphic card you are buying.
What are you buying?

It should be fine with the general railings but general rule. Never cheapen out on the psu. Often most overlooked component but a cheap psu can fry your mobo gpu and other pc components.

Use a XFX, Seasonic, or Corsair, those are the more reputable brands with better service

It should, although it still depends on other components in the system. Also the brand of the psu would be helpful
