That is a bit low of a power supply for that system. You should probably go up to at least 350W, if you ever plan to put a high powered video card, then go up to around 500W. 600W just for what you have now is a ridiculous overkill, despite what one person suggested.
To be honest, if you have settings on high, the problem is likely your video card is simply not powerful enough to handle the game. If it was a power supply problem, the game and perhaps even the entire system would be crashing.

Wow! You really need to upgrade that power supply! You don't always get the full output of any power supply. I recommend at least a 600 watt one.
A weak power supply will effect performance of your graphics card.

Okay... look at it this way.
say for instance...a light bulb needed 300 watts of power (just for argument sake)
and you only gave it 150 watts.
Would that light bulb be as efficient?
Or work to it's full Potential?
