I've found a 650w PSU for my pc and I'm wondering if it will fit my Dell Optiplex 3020 case. The case is a mini tower case (I think that's the term) and it's essentially just wide and kinda tall. The PSU is called CORSAIR CV650 ATX PSU - 650 W

This isn't mine but this is exactly what my case looks like
It has a proprietary connector to the motherboard that store bought PSU does not have. It will require an adapter from retail PSU 24-pin to Dell 8-pin and I can't guarantee the new PSU will fit in the case.

I'll pretty much have to get a new case if I want to get the new PSU to fit. Bit annoying that I can't just use my old case but it's fine as I was planning to change after a while
