I'd be looking at the 350W range.

Something like this would do well. It's overkill but for the price it's great
Antec VP450 450W $27

would a old dell 350w work

jimthenagual · Sep 1, 2014

What is the make/model number of the PSU?

You'd probably be better off spending $27 and getting a new shiny one. "Old" and "DELL" together? Scary!

harmon33 · Sep 1, 2014

its a N350N-00

Tradesman1 · Sep 1, 2014

I'd go at least a 400 w/ about 20 AMPs on the 12 Volt rail, higher if you want to think ahead to upgrades, it's a good base system, so the GPU might be the first thing you'll look to upgrade down the road

harmon33 :

It is indeed an old one(over a decade old). I wouldn't use it.

Raidmax supplies were used in this demo.

bignastyid · Sep 1, 2014

Raidmax is one of the absolute worst power supplies you can buy. Their cases are also very low quality, even though they may look cool.

It's not very good and also is equipped with poor capacitors.

harmon33 · Sep 1, 2014

Thats not a nice Corsair. Corsair budget series(cx, cs, and some rms) aren;t that good as they use cheaper capacitors. While its miles ahead of the raidmax and Dell there are better options available. Here's a good one thats on sale.
