Yes you very much do.

The i5-7400 uses an Intel Kabylake motherboard (such as a B250) and DDR4 memory. You need both. Do not try to install that processor in your current motherboard it won't fit and you could damage it.

Around 300W.

However ATX sized I don't know many units in that range that are actually decent.
Super Flower Golden Green HX comes with a 350W version
Seasonic has a couple of units like the G 360W, S12II-350 & the Platinum & X-Series with 400W.

But those are usually the same price or even more expensive than decent 450-550W PSUs like the XFX TS/Core/Pro 450 or the Corsair CXM450/550

According to nVidia ... you need a 300 watt PSU and no PCI-E cables.

Thermal and Power Specs:
97C = Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)
75 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
300 W = Recommended System Power (W)

TPU was able to pull a max of 75 watts out of it.

Guru 3D managed an estimated 70 watts and recommended 300-350 watts

Do the math and not just the components you list. All electronics parts specifications typically include minimum/nominal/and peak power requirements from CPUs to DIMMS. Best practice would be to add up all the peak power requirements for your PS requirements. Don't forget things like cooling fans or systems. and consider a smart PS that adjusts to demand.
