Yes you rsystem uses a standard ATX supply.

as long as the psu is ATX then it will work and your is atx so it will work.

If a PSU has lots of amps etc then that is good, even if its more than you need it will not damage your system, What will damage the system is that if the psu isn't powerful enough

OK, the new PSU has been fitted (and apart from forgetting to plug the CPU power in originally) all is well, it hasn't stopped the flickering although it's not as bad anymore; according to Chris (guy who fitted PSU and listened to case) the flickering i've noticed isn't really anything to worry about apparently (his does it slightly as well) and it doesn't seem to have fixed the ringing noise, although it's incredibly quiet now and only seems to be coming from the top left hand corner of the motherboard. Not sure what it is but again according to Chris it's fine and capacitors are supposed to make some noise.
