Hi so basically I have a gtx 720 2gb and im looking to upgrade to a gtx 750ti and I was wondering would my 300watt power supply be enough or am i taking a risk?

For a good 300w PSU Yes it's sufficient. But for a non brand PSU like yours. Certainly not. I wouldn't risk it at all specially when a good 400w psu comes for dirt cheap price.

Ok thanks. I just dont want to surge my Pc :)

You should be fine, the GTX 750 Ti pulls so little power that it doesn't even need a 6-pin or 8-pin PCIe power (depending on the model, I'm referring to the reference PCB). I'd so go ahead and upgrade, but do try to replace the power supply when possible. Even something cheap like an EVGA 500B should serve your purpose just fine.

It's plenty of wattage but that's one sketchyballs PSU.
