Dell Prebuilt Mobo size

[Zada]

Hi guys, I have an Inspiron 660s and I plan to migrate the entire computer and all its components to another case, I was worried that the mobo would not fit due to dell and its proprietary problems. 

 

Can someone pls verify that I will be able to fit the mobo into a proper case and will another new psu be able to plug in to the mobo in the first place? 

 

Ps. I am tight on budget and pretty much I can only afford a case and psu that I like without breaking the bank.. Thanks in advance

What's wrong with the existing case?

you're out of luck. the 660s motherboard seems wider than typical motherboards. However, judging from google images, the front panel connectors are not proprietary.

Yeah your motherboard is bigger than usual. So you wont be able to transplant it

I want to upgrade my components in the future and a proper case and psu is essential, that can't happen in a case that doesn't even have places to slot fans and good airflow etc

So even if I get a big case I won't be able to transplant it? Don't most cases have like eg 290cm gpu length compatability or something, how come I can't fit it into that?

Is the PSU related slots etc proprietary or will I have to just get a new mobo

If this is the mobo:

 

The power connectors look standard, but it's certainly too long to be mATX, possibly ATX or E-ATX size?
