What do you mean your "case" needs a 500W power supply? WHat are you reallt trying to ask here? A "500W" PSU means nothing. What means something is the quality of the unit.

Dell and other prebuilt computers have poor quality power supplies not suited for running a $330 graphics card. I recommend you buy a new power supply to ensure that you have a safe one for your new expensive card. A Tier List can be found here and shows what power supplies are good, and what ones are bad.

dude, the OP is asking for a PSU.
as for the question, BTX PSU's are not common, and the ones that exist aren't good quality. I recommend getting a new case, unless your motherboard is some propaitary dell form factory.

yes. any cheap ATX tower would do, but I recommend investing a little bit and getting the NZXT s340, as both it looks awesome, and its a case that can last you for a while, both in durability, and in upgrade space.
