I don't take chances like that when it's that close. If what you say is true, you still run the risk of it shooting up past 250 and shutting your computer down. In my opinion, I would go with the recommended PSU. The 300 one sounds more safe than your 250. It never hurts to be safe when dealing in your PSU.
I am saying legit. Check the card

It says max power is 29w. I confirmed with some people and they said that it does not crosses 29w at any cost. And i just don't wanna spent 150$ for a mere 50w extra power and i have to buy another cabinet for the psu alone and i have to assemble all over again.
I still stand with what I said earlier. I would not take a chance on a 250 watt PSU. I would want a 400-500 watt PSU. It's always nice to have some wiggle room, just in case.
SO why does the power supply calculator is saying i will have 223w at peak load including the card? I thought that the site was legit. Turns out, the site is a fraud. And i have to buy 1000w psu for 1000$. I am f***ed!
Do whatever you want to do. Why did you even bother coming here if you already used your "calculator"? If something is that close, why risk it? Is it worth ruining your computer?
I am just confirming. Ok. So what would be the worst case scenario when i power up the card and something happens?
A worst case scenario would be that you now need a new computer. And on a side note, your computer was basically made to stay what it is. Your computer isn't meant to be upgraded. You're better off saving up, and buying a budget gaming computer.
Which i can't. As i said, i am very poor and can't afford anything for about another 4 years.
But thanks for your effort anyways. Really appreciate!
An old reference of previous GT 610 questions:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1632077/610-run-power-supply.html
Those guys mention that it uses only 29w at peak and they should be good to go. They didn't report any problems either. So i am assuming that i am good to go. (Also remember GT 610 is low-profile)
So you trust me now?
