I currently have an Alienware x51 r2. I would like to put all the old parts into a new case, and put in a new graphics card and a new psu. Will this work? Also, it would be awesome if someone could link me some instructions on how to do this because I am fairly new to pic building. Thanks

Digging abit into it do i disagree,it seems to use a standard mini itx motherboard and as such should you be able to transfer it to another case when you buy a new psu to power it.

It seems to be this motherboard,

it uses a normal 24pin connector.There's probably an adapter inside to relay the power from the brick to the board.Look at the motherboard yourself,if this one are you fine.
