You only have a 300 watt PSU, that's the biggest potential problem I see. Aside from simply getting into the machine. Have you looked inside yet?

Depends on other stuff such as how many fans you have connected, RGB lighting, CPU, how many HDDs/SSDs etc. If it requires 300W then that's literally the minimum you should go. However I'd recommend a better one.

Hard to say honestly. I'm not invested in how PSUs work and all that. What I think can happen is that if your components try to draw more than 300W at any given time your PC will just automatically turn off. Like instantly, pitch black. Whether or not it will actually do that I can't say, and I don't think anyone else can say for certain that it will or won't. But in theory if they say you need a 300W PSU then yes it should work, in theory.

Yes it should/will work. No worries about your PSU, 300w is plenty for that spec.
