I have an Acer aspire xc-886 and want to upgrade the psu to 300w because i want to buy a gtx 1650 low profile but the default 220 watts are to little so i want a psu that fits in the case of a Acer aspire xc-886 and that has 300 watts

AFAIK, such a thing does not exist.

 

The Acer Aspire XC-886 is a proprietary PSU for a proprietary motherboard fitted into a proprietary case.

What makes you think that it won't be enough, and some 300W PSU will be better than the stock 220W one?

By the looks of it the system you've got has a really low-power Pentium and not much else in the way of really power hungry components. Just look for a 1650 model that only takes its power from the PCIe slot (I assume most low profile variants will be this way), and you'll be fine.

Okay, neither of them requires external power, so that's good.
