just make sure that the original PSU is standart atx in terms of size, measure the length and get a suitable one as replacement. Most times only length matters. If your psu is 150x86 mm at the back, you can throw in basically any psu you want (as long as the length fits). If you measure this, just post it here and we'll find something for you

I currently have a 4 year old which I won't be upgrading any time soon. I upgraded the graphics card to gtx 970 and added a soundblaster soundcard. Recently the power supply failed which is a dell 875w power supply. Although, it can be repaired or replaced, but do you think I should upgrade it to a better power supply and which power supply will fit inside the case. I am uploading the picture of my case for reference plus the extra hard drive bays can be removed as well. I'm not a big gamer kind. It's just I like to do things differently.image.jpgimage.jpg

A GTX 970 system shouldn't need a ton of power. If you're still going to use the shitty Alienware case and are on a budget then the EVGA GQ or Seasonic G-series (650W and 550W respectively) would be great options.

Anyways for the timebeing, I got the original one repaired. I'm gonna buy a new deaktop pc in future but for now its just waste of money because a good laptop is what my career needs at the moment. I'm gonna get a new laptop this fall. Probably apple or dell xps 15 infinity display or maybe the one that is good at that time.

I know that its shitty but the price I got it 4 years ago was good. I need a new laptop now. Moreover, I'm moving to a new place soon and I'm going to sell this PC and build my own PC for the new place.
