Well if you're system draws 300 W, get 450W cause if you use a 350 W, and the battle gets intense, your pc will randomly crash (not even shutdown). The headroom eliminates the possibility that power is an issue. And the good PSU makes sure you won't fry anything or corrupt files when windows auto crashes. I've read stories of uber sketch PSU's bust a cap and fry everything except the drives, the case front panel and monitor (since its not connected). But everything else fried including the fans so that says a lot.

Blue screens eh? Did you try setting it to Wumbo?

What are the specs of your system? I'll recommend a PSU based on that.

You'd be fine with an EVGA GS/GQ/G2, 550W would be fine.
