- You can change the PSU of a dell computer

- Make sure that the dimensions of the PSU will fit inside the computer. Make sure the PSU will supply enough power to all your components. Get a good quality brand PSU like Antec, Thermaltake, or Corsair. It also has all the necessary plugs for your computer. e.g. sata, 4 pin molex, adequate of power connectors. Make sure that it does not impede airflow.

- It looks like an ATX form factor case, so just install your new PSU in reverse of how you took out your old PSU.
