A:
It depends on the rest of the system. The Dynex 400w PSU, if you dissect it, is only rated for 250w continuous power. See this review:http://www.hardocp.com/article/2008/05/13/getting_best_buy_on_power_supply/2#.U1kcY1VdXHo
If the rest of the system has anything more than basic components, then the answer might be no. Best Buy carries a Thermaltake 430w PSU that would be better, and is only $5 more:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/430w-tr2-atx-power-supply/9827301.p?id=1218179698427&skuId=9827301&st=categoryid$abcat0507009&cp=1&lp=3
Alternatively, you could go for the Corsair taht is only a little more and is a really great PSU in terms of quality:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cx-series-modular-cx750m-750w-atx-power-supply/8324202.p?id=1218872214205&skuId=8324202&st=categoryid$abcat0507009&cp=1&lp=1
It will also allow further upgrades down the line, and would easily go into your next system.

No, the +12V rail only supports 8 Amps. You would need to upgrade the PSU for that graphics card.by

A:
It should not be a problem but to double check, look at the back of your powersupply and make sure the plug port which protrudes from the back of your DELL chassis will work otherwise it should not be a problem. On the upside, Best Buy will replace it if it doesn't and give you full credit.by

Q:
I have HP pavilion Slimline s3700y. The PSU powers the drive and cd but doesn't seem to power the cpu. Any ideas? I used the cable bridge from the previous psu because of the size difference.by

Answers
A:
You will need to connect the power cable for the CPU (4-6pin connector). There are two connections to the motherboard, 1) the huge brick that is the main power for the motherboard, and 2) the CPU power cable that is a four to six pins connector. This connector should be located close to the processor.by

A:
The 20+4 pin should plug into the top of the motherboard and provide power to the CPU. I'm not sure why you need a cable bridge from your previous power supply. If I had to guess, that would be the reason you're not getting power. If you plug it directly into the motherboard and it still does not power up, then you may have an issue with the power supply or the motherboard itself.by

A:
Yes you can. It will fit, but you'll want to make sure that 400 Watts is enough to power your computer since it originally came with a 475 Watt power supply. The power you need will be dependent on what components your computer has installed. If it has the stock parts installed, it should be fine. the biggest factor is if you have an actual video card installed or if you're just using the on-board graphics capability of the motherboard.by
