The Optiplex 380 MT will take an ATX PSU which is good for you. The pics I could find also shows it having a normal 20/24 pin motherboard connector, but you should double check this to be sure.

When it comes to PSUs cheapest is a bad idea. You are replacing that psu for a reason, that reason is not to create a fire hazard.

The Corsair CX450M is the best budget 450w psu these days. Many times with rebates you can get it for around $30
