Power Supply Question!?

Hi, your OEM power supply, for comparison, can be found here http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main?sel_flg=partlist&model=KJ379AA&HP_model=KJ379AA&modname=HP+Pavilion+a6400f+home+PC+(KJ379AA)&template=main&plist_sval=Power+Supply&plist_styp=subcat&dealer_id=&callingsite=&strsrch=&keysel=Power+Supply&catsel=%3F it is a # 5188-2622
250-watt (max) power supply (Zinfandel), Bestec ATX-250-12V) similiar to this one http://www.censuspc.com/product-pr-3129.html and it seems to be a standard ATX type (Dimensions: 5.9 W x 3.4 H x 5.5 D – Inches)
So I would recommend you see how much power your upgraded pc will demand with a PSU calculator such as this one http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp your specs, according to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01390590&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3686671&lang=en says it is an:
E2200 / 2 x ddr2 / 1 x sata / 1 x dvdrw / 1 x card reader / 3 x fan (guess) / and perhaps a GTX280 OC 🙂
I get 334W with that upgrade, so even this unit should handle it with ease
There is currently a good deal on the Antec True Power Trio TP3-430 430W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103942
$40 w/ free shipping
it can handle a +12v combined max of 32A (or 384W) so it should be able to handle it no problem http://c1.neweggimages.com/NeweggImage/productimage/17-103-942-04.jpg

Power Supply, Form Factor, advice?
My power supply recently went out on my compaq presario sr1350nx. I’m looking for a replacement, needless to say. The one that came with the computer is a Bestec ATX-300-12ZCDR.
I don’t necessarily want to get that exact model because the price is kinda high for such a low-wattage ps. But I know I have to keep the form factor in mind. How do I do this? Is there any hope for buying a different model?

Thank you very much for answers and opinions!

If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.
Does it fit the case? The power specs are good. HP uses a standard power supply.
So, I think it will work if it fits.
