350w should be enough if you don't plan for future upgrade or expansion of your system. I don't have AOpen PSU, so I can't comment on it. Have you considered other brands?

A good 350W PSU should be enough, and if I remember correctly Aopen makes/uses decent PSUs.

My CPU fan spins so fast that it creates a wormhole

Antec, Vantec and Enermax are good ones, just ordered a Antec 480 watt PSU myself.
