It's an easy job now. The connectors fit each device.

A screwdriver on the case screws is the only tool needed.

Check the size. What side the fan is on.

The screws should line up on newer cases.

You are building a high end PC, don't buy a cheap power supply.

Most computers will use a generic power supply. All you need is a screw driver. takes about two mins.



Open your case up and take a close look at the leads coming from the PS. The power connectors to the drives are all the same unless you have SATA drives and they have a different type of plug.



The mother board may take two plugs, a large one and a small four pin one. Make sure your new power supply has the right kind of plugs.

Not all power supplies are the same - Dell is notorious for having non-standard connectors as are many others.



Before you go tearing it out and taking it into a shop - do some research online for your particular brand and model of computer. If you are going to buy a new one from a competent local shop - you should be able to tell them the brand and model and they can sell you a new one - you shouldn't need to tear it out first.



As for the installation, getting the new one in place is easy. Making sure you get all the connectors hooked back up is harder. It sounds like you are already experienced enough to be swapping out cards and such, so it shouldn't be difficult for you.
