No. A power supply has to power all componets in a computer - processor, disk drives, optical storage, memory. So, a power supply has to be more powerful. Exact value depends on how much power all components use.

Will a 350 watt graphics card work with a 300 watt power supply?

It's not recommended to use a 350 watt graphics card with a 300 watt power supply because the power supply may not be able to provide sufficient power for the graphics card's requirements. This can lead to system instability and potential damage to components. It's best to use a power supply that meets or exceeds the power requirements of the graphics card.

If it says it requires more, you'll need a bigger power supply with large wattage otherwise you'll kill your computer.

Can you use a graphics card that requires a power supply of 270watts on a machine with a power supply of 250watts?

What must be considered when buying a power supply?

When purchasing a power supply, you need to consider the power output of the components you have (or plan to put inside) your PC. Your CPU, graphics card and hard drives will be the main power users, so get a power supply that matches the overall power output of your components. For example, my PC has an Intel i7 3770K and a GTX680 (overclocked) which are fairly higher-end components, and the 650 watt power supply powers those and my 2 hard-drives adequately. If you have a very new processor and graphics card (intel 4xxx series or geforce 7 series for example), then it would probably be good to go 700 or above.
