No, I don't think your 300W power supply will even have the connectors for it. You'll likely need two 6 pin PCI-ex connectors. Most 300W power supplies don't even have one.

If you don't want to upgrade the power supply, you'll need to choose a videocard that doesn't require a 6 pin connector. A GTX 750 Ti for example. Assuming there are no motherboard compatibility problems, a GTX 1050 Ti is the fastest new card that'll run on that.
