Is 250w power supply enough for gaming?
300 watts would probably be enough if you don’t do any upgrades. 350 watts would give you some breathing room, and PSUs do degrade over time. Anything over 400 watts will be overkill. I used a few PSU calculators and with your specs you’re looking at around 270 watts needed.

Can a PSU limit a GPU?
Not true. The gpu has no way of knowing a PSU cannot deliver sufficient power. What happens is the gpu draws the power/current it needs, if the psu cannot provide that amount of power you either get voltage fluctuations or complete psu failure. Voltage fluctuations will give instant stability issues or reboot.
