It says here that you've already got a 128Mb x300SE video card on the PCIe slot:

It looks like you have a 305W power supply there to power up that X300SE w/c is a 30watter.
The 7300GS is just a 16watter and should work fine but it is not an awesome upgrade to your entry level x300SE. You would get better game performance from a 7300GT ddr3 but w/c draws only 25watts.
