How does a 350W ps put out more power than a 400W ps? And if he is having problems with a 250W ps, then a 300W only going to help for a while (if at all)...until he decides to upgrade something else.

You can get a 400W Antec ps for ~$70 (I don't recommend a house brand ps)...plenty for this guy's needs. Now if he was spending $500 on a graphics card and $1500 on a processor then I would say spend the money on the more expensive power supplies, but in this case it is not necessary.
