Power Supply Help

My 8250 is my first "purchased" computer. I normally build them myself so after finding out that my 8250 was shipped with a 250watt PS, I was extremely disappointed.  The system ships at 235watts so I didn't have much room to upgrade.  But I took a chance and I am now running at 350watts with  all the upgrades.  My video card is what destroyed me....Dell has essentially told me, "sorry we cannot help you".
Can anyone out there help me find a few sites that sell DELL power supplies? 
I know of pcpowerandcooling.com but have had no experience with THEIR power supplies..can anyone tell me if this is a "good" site to order from?  Are they good quality? etc.
 
Thanks so much

pcpowercooling has a very good rep, & are talked about highly on the Dimension Upgrade boards.

or

You can buy a Dimension 8300 305 watt power supply from dell spare parts.  Dell rates their P/S at the steady state wattage, not peak performace ratings.  The 305 Dell P/S will handle peaks over 345 watts.  It is what they use with the ATI 9800 card shipped in the 8300
