I have an Alienware x51, which has I believe a 240 watt power supply? it uses an nvidia gt g545 gddr5 gpu. I want to upgrade the graphics card to maybe either the gtx 750 ti, gtx 660, or the gtx 760. I know that it needs a larger power supply for any of these cards, but I don't know what power supply can fit in my mini itx case, or if that's even an issue. I also don't know if the gtx 760 will fit in my case. I know that people have been fitting in the gtx 660 and 670's in their machines but I just don't exactly know what card can fit in my case.

Sorry for the incredibly late reply, I actually figured out that the psu in my computer is known as a "brick" psu but its able to go to 330w which is great because I am able to use the nvidia gtx 750 ti with it. the problem now is that I have a graphics tray for my card to fit into but it won't go into the tray properly because of the way it's designed.

Hey did you figure this out? I want to upgrade my x51 from the 660 and if you have luck with the 750 ti I am going with that. :) I have the 330 power supply, did you have any power issues once you got it working?
