6800 GT
If I don't have the recommended 350Watt power supply (I've got 300watt), will the card not work properly?

I don't think you will have a problem.

Some will handle it and some wont. If you start to have weird lockups and problems with video the first this I'd do is upgrade the power supply. These cards are powerful.

A quality 300W PSU should be able to run a 6800 GT, assuming you don't overclock.
