Should i get a new PSU?

I have dell dimension that i upgraded the graphics card to an ati radeon x1300 pro agp. It says that you need at least a 350 watt psu in the manual and i am using a 250 watt unit. I removed any device that is not being used including the floppy drive and some other pci cards, while keeping the cd drive powered up. After i did that i decided to upgrade the cpu to a 2.6 ghz p4 from a 1.6 ghz. And i added 256 mb of ram somewhere in between.

I have been experiencing no random shut offs or freezes, but should i still upgrade the psu, because i am not going to do any more upgrades because its maxed out to its best, and i did remove other devices to compensate for the new graphics card.

I dont know if the new one would fit in the case knowing that the dimension case is a 10 year old design...
And i dont need any of those removed pci cards. I just wanted to know if it would be beneficial to the processor performance because when i upgraded cpu the only strongly noticed difference was that on windows task manager my cpu isnt always running at 25-100%, instead i have about 5-10% without anything open.
