Hello, a friend has a computer built on an a8 (not sure which one). 4 gb of ram and unknown Mobo. He has a 260-300 W psu and he wanted to buy an Asus GTX750, since that card doesn't require any power connectors, will the 300w psu be enough to run it? 

SuperNova: CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k @4.6 GPU: Sapphire R290 Tri-x @1200, @1350, MOBO: MSI Z87 G45 Gaming, RAM: 16Gb HyperX Fury White @1866, PSU: CORSAIR TX750M, CASE: Arc Midi R2, SSD: Kingston 120gb SSD, 
COOLING: H100i w/ 2x Nb eLoop 800rpm

a 750 or 750ti will run fine on a 300  or 250 watt psu

If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Really depends on the PSU. Some lower quality ones pull a LOT less power than they advertise. Whereas higher quality ones can pull more than they advertise.

Oh I know, I just thought I should mention it. I had a 350w that really only pulled 294w, but that was like 6 years ago.

GTX750 Max TDP= 55W

 

(Assuming)

A8 5600K Max TDP= 100W

 

extra 10%

 

Total= 170.5Watt

 

Your friend should have no problems at all with a decent 300W PSU.
