If it fits it sits.

Just install it and make sure you properly plug in all the connectors. Installing a PSU isn't difficult. Common sense really.

The only possible concern you would have with changing PSUs is how many 4/6/8 pin cables the new one has etc...

 

But since you're dealing with modular PSUs there's nothing to worry about. Unplug old, Plug in new. Easy.

Nothing really.

 

Unplugging and plugging cables.

 

That's all.

 

Make sure you insert connectors to the right ports :P

 

Manage your cables for more air flow! :)

That's all.
