I need to know if I can upgrade my power supply in my CQ-5320F desktop computer. I currently have a 250watt power supply and I am looking to upgrade to a 300watt power supply.

It is a mini tower and should accept a normal size PSU, I would at minimum recommend this Corsair http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

You wantto look at the power supply and see if it's an ATX style power supply , if it is then you can upgrade to an ATX psu. If it's another style like miocro atx or TFX then you have to look for those style psu's.
The ATX is the most widely used power supply and you will have no trouble finding one and you may consider a 400w since it's not that much more.

Antec High Current Gamer Series HCG-400 400W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V v2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
$59.99 and a $40 rebate makes the final price $19.99.

Something like this is too good a deal to pass up , a $60 psu with a $40 rebate so you end up paying $20 for a 400w psu.
