Question Can I fit a replacement PSU in my Dell PC case ?

[xtm653]

I have a Dell Vostro 3888. I have been wanting to upgrade It but the PSU inside It Is pretty small.
It isn't a cube like the PSU I am buying, it is a cuboid but a small one. I searched all over for its name but I couldn't find It, all I know is the PSU was made by Dell, here is a pic for reference:

The one In the pic is not the same as the one i have but it is the same shape. Will I be able to get a new PSU ?
I know it won't fit in the case but it could fit if I put it in horizontally.

What's the brand and model of your current 350w PSU?

A750 is a 225w tdp GPU. You need at least a high end 450w or mid range 550w to run that card.

No, because the PSU, case and motherboard are proprietary. If you want to replace one you have to replace all three.

Why do you want to upgrade the PSU?

If the PSU has a 6 pin and 8 pin PCIe it's useable. Cheaper than a new case, motherboard and ATX PSU.

No, 350w is way to low for a system with Arc A750 and the PSU does not have the required PCIe connectors.

You can't use a new ATX PSU with that case and motherboard.
You can't use your current PSU with that GPU.

It looks like you need a whole new PC.

i have noticed that the arc a750 is a bit big and i measured my case and saw the measurments of the arc a750 and it can't fit in my case so i have decided to get a new motherboard, case and psu. Are there any good quality components that you would recomend that are compatible with the i5-10400 ?
