I have a HP Pavilion a6600f PC and it comes with a 250 Watt Power Supply. I am going to replace the stock case and instead of the stock fan I am going to use 120mm fan (one with blue Led) and one 140mm fan. I need to know if the Power Supply will have enough power for the extra fans.

Unless your running onboard graphics, be sure to replace that PSU too. I'm going out on a limb here, but if you need that much cooling, I'm guessing your planning more than a basic mobo and cpu.
 
Fans use very little power. The spec sheets for the fans will tell you how much power they draw.

If a PSU cannot handle a couple extra fans, you are running at too close to maximum power capacity anyway.
