I have a friend who has an older dell dimension e521. He wants to put a video card in it to do some light gaming. The biggest problem I see is the 305 W Power supply. So I was wondering if anyone could point me to the best nvidia card available that will run in a system with that little power.

Unfortunately there are much better choices for gaming, so I have to unselect best answer - ASUS GTX650-E-1GD5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121710 check specs here http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/GTX650E1GD5/#specifications
look at # Power Consumption up to 75Wno additional PCIe power required
This is the BEST NVIDIA for 300 watt PSU.

Each of your choices require 6 pin power connector, do you know this?
And did you do small homework to see Dell power supply? I guess you not - Dell PSU doesn't have any 6 pin connector, and there are not enough extra connectors to create one, plus you need enough amperage on this line!
So, what now?
