A 1660 Super is an excellent value around that price point as long as you don't have a literal garbage-bin power supply.

That might be a problem. As far as I know there is no other way to check your Wattage then looking on the sticker. You really have to find a way to open the panel.

Probably, but it could literally be anything. It could be that you bend your case or a wire in the way.

Since there's pretty much no movement at all I don't think you can easily remove the panel. Its probably stuck in the place its locked in. Try pulling with some more force, but don't overdo it since you can bend the case even more then you might already have done. Or if you want to be safe, look up your system model and look it up on the internet. You might be able to find something there. You can find your system model in your system information.
