Hi. I am wanting to replace my GPU and PSU for my Dell Studio 540.
GPU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009KFT1ZG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
PSU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009RMP2VE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
I just have a few questions about compatibility. I've only ever opened my case up once, to replace the GPU with a 9600 GT, which was pretty easy. I decided to open it again and (try) to measure up whether the new GPU and PSU mentioned above will fit. I'm still not sure if they will, since the dimensions are a bit confusing, especially for the PSU I'm a bit worried due to the huge fan sticking out below its slot. See the pictures below:

The PSU is on the top left (I removed the GPU temporarily, normally bottom left.) I'm worried if the PSU will be able to fit in or not. This picture will help with another concern, the GPU. My current card takes one slot, but the new one seems like it takes two - However where you slot it in, there are metal things separating each slot, so I have no idea how I'll be able to get it in there/If the metal separators can be removed?
Secondly, I decided to try and remove the PSU to see how easy/hard it is, but I couldn't do it at all. Picture below is the back of the case, the top part is where the PSU slot is:

Any help and reassurance would be appreciated here!
