Hi everyone,
I bought the alienware X-51 slim PC last year, did my fine for a while but I decided to upgrade the graphics card from a 555 to a 660ti.
What I didn't realize was that the 660ti needs more power (even though its listed as the same wattage as the 555) so now I have a massive bottleneck when gaming, which is very bad.
My only option to fix this would be to have a new PSU. The PC is fitted with a 330 Watt external adapter, which is the biggest watt adapter that is available, so of course I would need a new case.
My question is: Would I run into any problems with case transfering? Could there be parts in the PC which only conform with the adapter PSU, or would they all be compatible with a conventional PSU as well.
