Seriously, maybe I'll go play PS2, or Arma 3, or EVEmu and enjoy my time playing games instead of looking on these accursed forums and seeing people ***** about things from the audience CCP went to entertain, to the CPM, to the Dev Blog, and back to FOTM Bets.
Good god, maybe I might have some peace on the internet.
Dear PC Master Race,
I am getting a Geforce GTX 750. I currently have a 300 Watt PSU in my computer, which is a total stock HP Pavilion p6310y.
Should I upgrade my PSU to a 400 watt PSU, or leave it be?
Definitely, definitely get a better PSU. You really want a nice brand one- it'll really suck to discover one day that your cheap-o stock PSU has died and fried your expensive video card with it. I highly recommend Antec- they're affordable and their reliability is second to none.
Edit: something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371004
Respec in 1.8 due to huge battlefield role shift for MinLogi!

Edit: something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371004 Yup better PSU might be a good idea. But 500w seems oversized for a card with a tdp of 75w and a CPU that's probably not much more hungry. Running at 60% draw at most kills efficiency for little benefit so 400w should be enough.
Heh, but upgrading your PC is like crack. He'll install the new graphics card and want more, more, more! This provides upwards mobility. A good PSU will last long after the rest of your rig is obsolete.

I don't think its any different from the other 40 and 50 dollar PSU's i've found with the same wattage. Is it any different?
It's a matter of reliability- maybe the $20 one is great and lasts for years, or maybe it fries after a month and takes your computer with it. If you're willing to gamble to save a few bucks, you can go with the cheap option.
Personally, when I build a system, the PSU is the only part where I don't go for the cheapest possible option- I go with a well-known, reliable brand with a well-established warranty program.
I've had some bad experiences with cheap PSUs in case you couldn't tell, so I'm really wary of high-power low-cost outliers. PSUs are the one part of a computer that, when they fail, can cause significant damage to other components.
I trust: Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, in no particular order. Rosewill is a good middle-of-the-road option.
