Well, the calculator says I need a 284W power supply but the 750 Ti that I have says it requires a 400W.
Listen to NVIDIA's recommendation. It's accounting for excess load prevention and capacitor aging (PSUs lose a bit of a power over time based on how long they're in use and how often they're under load). You'd get by just barely on a 300W PSU, but not for long. You'll also be hard pressed to find low-wattage PSUs that are built to withstand constant full load (they are mostly lower-end units for office use).
That said, there's a Corsair CX430 for $29.99 after $20 mail-in rebate: LINK
Consider that 430W your baseline for a low-power gaming PC.
