First, you may have to upgrade you power supply. A 300w won't cut it for a R7 260x. Also, the new 265 was recently announced and the previous 260 and 260x will have a cheaper price point; therefore the 260 will be in your price range. Either way, it's recommended you upgrade your power supply.

If you don't want to upgrade power supply, then I'd suggest the R7 250. It should be fine for your needs (It will be much better than your integrated graphics and may not require a power supply upgrade).

A 300 watt power supply is enough. He has roughly around 150 watts to spare in his system.

Just a precaution. Card power draw can vary and spike, son he needs to go easy on the power rails assuming they are limited by given current. 

It's true that the power draw can spike and both AMD and Nvidia are guilty on giving rosy max TDPs an all but most of the cards that we named are well around 100 watts and I highly doubt that a 100 watt card will fluctuate around 50 watts. If this were the high end you'd have a point but this is the low to mid ranged market we're talking about.
