Can I move Alienware x51 R2 specs to a new tower?

[MurphLion]

I have wanted for a while now to move my Alienware x51 R2 components to a bigger tower, but I don't know if i can due to the motherboard being possibly Alienware specific. I think I will need a new PSU, but I don't for sure, and I have no idea what a good PSU looks like. I would also appreciate any possible case recommendations, my price range for a case is $40-$140.

My System Specs are at the following link: http://www.cnet.com/products/alienware-x51-r2-core-i7-4770-3-4-ghz-8-gb-1-tb-ax51r29300bk/specs/

Thanks to anyone that answers, I really appreciate it!

I already googled what I want to know, but I don't really know that much when it comes to rebuilding a PC, so I figured I should ask some people who know more than i do

Building your own computer is easy. Building it takes 2-3 hours, and installing windows takes about 30mins to 45mins, and after that downloading and installing drivers takes another 30-45 mins. After all that, have it download windows updates at night, it may take a 2-4 passes to get them all.

Protip for installing drivers safely, install them one at a time and restart the computer after each install to avoid breaking the OS, which can happen if you try to install them all at once.
