Dell E521 Upgrades.
I've read some threads already on this but i recently ordered a 8600GTS PCI-E x16 card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143113

First off the stock PSU in this dell is a 305W.
I want to upgrade my PSU no matter what. BUT the dell rep didnt tell me anything tha twas compatible. Cause he wanted me to buy from dell :-\

I hear from others that it is a Standard BTX PSU. But i fear something burning out if i get a new one.

1st concern... Will most power supplies fit?
2nd... Will it burn my mobo out with too much wattage
3rd... People say Dell PSUs are not universal.

Please give me your input
I have seen Compiler post some about E521s but not sure on results

I do regret buying this system heh.
