Hi

A 350watt psu is ok provided you do not install a graphics card
( at least a graphics card requiring a PCI-e 6 or 8 pin power plug)

I don't see how you can call a PC with integrated graphics a gaming PC
But if you wait until the new psu is installed before installing a graphics card you will be ok
Some manufacturers are using 250watt psu's on systems which use integrated graphics
