IT WILL WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friend has been running a 8800gt OC on one since launch day (almost 1.5 years now)
with a x2 5000+ 2 hdds 2 pci cards to dvd burners, just fine. and the 8800gt uses more electricity (and its a OC model too)
so i guarantee it will work. It was a 305w e521

same happened to me (430w apevia psu with 8800gt, killed the psu, its the psu that came with my x-gear case)
But it will work with the Dell.

well idk if the psu was killed, it wouldnt boot up, if i took the gpu out and put the psu in it might still boot up (worked with my 8600gts just fine)
(u also have a oc'ed cpu...his cpu is stock)

any antec psu should be fine...and you may as well get a GTS240 instead of a 9800gt, exact same thing, but cooler name and should cost the same or less

.
and guaranteed to be 55nm vs some 9800GTs are 55nm some are 65nm

you could do that if you did your stock psu would handle a 4670. Performance is a little worse, but really close.
