I have an Alienware X51, and I recently upgraded the NVIDIA GTX 555 to an NVIDIA GTX 660 EVGA SC. I am having some heat issues. For the time being I have removed the side of the case for enhanced ventilation, but I know that I need a new power supply and perhaps a new case. Unfortunately, I am not skilled in the art of removing components and re-installing them. I will list my specs below, but again, my main question is....

How do I go about replacing the power supply and moving all the components to the new case. Also, which case and power supply would be recommended based on the following information?

MODEL: Alienware ANDROMEDA_R5
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @3.40 GHz
MEMORY: 16.0 GB
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit
VIDEO CARD: GTX 660 EVGA Superclocked

If you need any more information, please just ask. I will do what I can to provide it! Thanks in advance!

Well, I purchased a case and a PSU, but I am now realizing that there are 3 separate parts to the Alienware motherboard. I fear I may have to buy a new motherboard as well, what information would I need to select a motherboard, and would anyone be willing to help me find one that fits the components that I have?
