The PSU nameplate is probably facing the wrong way to read. But assuming you have a 300W OEM PSU, the GTX 750 Ti would be your best choice. Drag out any PSU cables that may be tucked away during assemby and see if the is a PCIe cable available. If not, you probably have a 300W. The best way to be sure would be to remove the PSU and look for the nameplate data.
