Your 300W power supply is not adequate for running the HD5770. About the best you could do at 300 W is the GT240, which for the price is a nice card.

To run the HD 5770 you would need at least 450W, but there are nice models in the 500W range I could recommend:

I'm an ANtec guy myself:

This one from Corsair is a fine supply:

but only 450W. They also have a 550W model that I would go with a little more than a little less.

Coolermaster and OCZ have budget models that are more affordable but not as good in quality.
