PSU upgrade

[plasticjesus]

Hello,
I recently bought this
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/packard-bell-imedia-a3523-uk-06334667-pdt.html

and want to upgrade the PSU, which seems to be smaller than standard because I bought a Corsair 600 gaming series which doesn't fit in the PSU casing.

Can someone recommend some good PSUs which would be compatible with my machine at about 550-600W.

Would be much appreciated.

Thanks

So a standard PSU does not fit? Does this look correct (mATX)?

Thanks for replying.
Yeah it looks right. I'll open it up tonight and measure it.
Oh, it's a HIPRO HP-D250AA0, which i've Googled but can't find out if its a standard micro ATX or not. I hope I haven't bought something so specific it'll be a nightmare to upgrade.

Oh, to answer your question. If the Corsair one I got is a standard ATX then no they don't fit.

Probably is not proprietary... mATX is probably what you are after!

Cheers for the help.
The reason I wanted to upgrade is because I wanted to upgrade the video card on my new system. I've found out that isn't compatible with the mother board, oops(so there's another question for another thread).
I've been learning a lot about hard ware in the 2 weeks I've had this new computer. I guess I should have learnt before I spent.

If you truely need an mATX power supply you will really need to look around for a larger capacity unit to potentially run upgraded hardware. Most of thost mATX PSUs are less than 400w and are targeted for lower budget / eMachines. Good luck! Any more questions let us know...
