Question Dell XPS 8300 Upgrade

[geoffbates]

I have this PC with the original power supply. I have been given an EVGA650 SuperNOVA 650 G5 #220-G5-0650-X1. Is this a suitable replacement for the OEM PSU? I'm concerned about physical size and sufficient power on all rails.

It might not be compatible because you have a Dell motherboard that uses non-standard PSU connector but you can try finding an adapter. I wouldn't recommend using the adapter but it might work. What's your system specs?

Also make sure the EVGA PSU is the same size as your current PSU, otherwise it might not fit in the case.

You may need a P6 cable for that. Verify you have that cable on your Dell PSU. Newegg has an adapter for it if you need it. As mentioned verify the overall size of the unit vs the one you want to install.
