PSU help

So I'm going to get an XpertVision GeForce 8800GT 512MB graphocs card for my Dell Dimension 5150 computer (which didnt come with factory components, it has a pentium D 2.8GHz processor) and it only has a 305W power supply. This is my current power supply:
DELL H305P-00 P/N: HP-P3067F3P 305w 24-Pin Power Supply Bulk-pack SKU: CN-0W4828
And I want to upgrade to this power supply:
PC World - OCZ OCZ600SXS-UK 600 WATT STEALTH XSTREAM PSU - Shop for cheap Power Supplies

Will this power supply fit the case?

Hi and welcome to TIMO.
Yes, it looks like the OCZ unit will fit your case fine.
Nice choice btw, it's the same PSU I have.

Enjoy!

Yes, it may be a little longer than the stock one, and the orientation may be backwards from the one you have now, but those models do fit standard ATX PSU's
Good choice, I couldnt find anything better from that site

Thanks guys, sounds good. Do you have any tips on how to put it in? Because me and my dad have never changed a power supply before.

really the easiest way is to unscrew the old one, screw in the new one. Then for every old wire you take off, you replace it right away with a new wire. That ensures you don't miss any. Make sure you plug the 6pin PCI-E power connector to the new graphics card too.
Good luck!
