IMO you could run that system on 500w, not sure why near 900 watt is needed but makes no difference for you, just an option to upgrade stuff I guess.

Don't ask OP, ask the folks at Alienware. I mean Dell.

That motherboard is either ATX or Micro-ATX, depending on spec/model. These are standard layouts, and should fit into any ATX mid-tower on the market.

That CPU cooler though, I'm not so sure. Probably an older Asetek unit? Should fit, although you might have to front mount it if the tubing isn't flexible enough to fold over itself to mount in the rear. S340 won't fit any liquid cooling radiators at the top, even with modification. I've tried.

One thing to consider too, now that it has been brought up, is you typically want to replace an AIO liquid cooler every 3-5 years, so it is probably overdue, just something to think about.
