170w is pretty low.
Probably need some more details on the system - processor, Vid Card etc
Is it in an ATX case? ie your everyday Upright type Case? that will make things a lot easier as Power Supplies are pretty standard for these and you can pick one up anywhere.
The Desktop - ie Horizontal - Cases are often much harder to get PSU's for as they are generally physically smaller.
If you get a "Name Brand" PSU, like an Antec etc, you'll be much better off than with a "Yum Cha" one.

I don't know if you want this one, but it is a recommended replacement for your 4400. Anyway it will give you an idea of what to look for, diagrams,etc.Chappu said:

I would go with this one if you do not have a PCIe graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104901
Or this one if you do have a PCIe graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104953
FSP is a much better brand than Sparkle.

You can use a powersupply supplied from a different manufacturer, you do not need a factory Dell powersupply and even if you got one from Dell, it just has there named stamped on it, they didn't make it either.
I have been in a simular position before concerning computer power supply questions. The best website that I have found is jonnyGuru.com. .
The psu I linked you to in post #6 is not the preferred replacement. Power On has the generic versions (ATX) and are cheaper than the PC Power+Cooling "preferred" versions. You get what you pay for and skimping on your psu may cost you more in the long run than the $ you will save now.
That's a decision only you can make.

Agree with kpo 6969. Without knowing what gpu you have, it's tough to match a psu that will optimize that hardware.
