Yes the new computer will be different. I know what you mean about proprietary parts. Do you expect that I should not be able to upgrade the PS in the Dell? I asked several sources and so far general concensus is that I should have no problems. I spoke to 3 tech guys that can do it (*one was Best Buy) and the other two are independent. But I am choosing to install the vid card mysekf as i am confident I can do that on my own. Anything electrical is best handled by someone used to doing that wiring and connections. One wrong plug in and POOF!!! LOL!

Advice on this is appreciated if you know of a better brand of power supply.

I have an Optiplex GX745, core2 duo, 4 gbs ram, and about 8"L X 5 1/2" W free
(*9 3/4" L and 6" W inside the case ) space between where the PS will mount and
the 2 optical drives at the front.

ThanX everyone, I so appreciate the help.
HugZ!
