Replacements for my gaming machine

I had a case fan and my power supply die on me. Just need a few recommendations for replacements. They are both what was in my Inspiron 530 when I bought it. No budget limitations but I also don't need anything special.

Power supply was a 350W. PS-6351-2

Fan was 3" x 3" (80mm). KD1209PTS2

Thanks in advance my friends.

Edit: I would also like to sneak in a few hundred GB SSD and some sata cables if possible to keep the buy in the $200 range.

    Sorry to say this, but you might need to get a Power Supply from Dell. Back when Dell used 350 W PSUs they were custom.

    PM me your address, I will send you an 80 mm fan with bare leads, runs on 12 volt. Will be quite quiet and is liquid bearing. I have about 50 of them.

    I've been very happy with samsungs 840 series. I have the 500 gb in my current system, but since your budget is ~200:

    Thanks Straight_Man for the fan.

    As for the PSU, from my research it seems to be standard ATX mounting points and size (5.5 x 3 3/8 x 5 7/8). Most of the sizes I see on Newegg round those to decimals of an inch but I've found a few posts indicating that is indeed just them rounding up.

    I don't know if the connectors across different power supplies are standard though. It referenced main power as 20+4. My Mother board connects to power with a 24 pin connector and a separate 4 pin. Is the 4 pin "4+4 Pin EPS 12V"?

    My video card accepts a 6 pin. Am I correct that that is the PCI-E connection?

    All other power connections are SATA (4 currently)

    Found a recommendation for specifically this as a replacement for my PS-6351-2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

    Any thoughts?

    I'm pretty impressed with myself right now. I was able to install both parts despite their efforts to thwart me. Rewired the fan, flattened a few cable clips on the case to fit the PSU and got it all installed and here I am. It is by no means pretty, but I never imagined the inside of a storm trooper was.

    Huge thanks again to @PirateNinja and @Straight_Man for the parts!
