Aurora R7, replace power supply
The power supply in our Aurora R7 needs to be replaced (pressing the self-test button produces no results).
I've seen other posts and articles on this, but I haven't seen a clear post on what is the PSU is a compatible replacement.
So, what is a direct replacement (or improvement) PSU of our computer. I included a picture of the sticker on the existing PSU below.

The Dell/Alienware OEM 850-watt would pop right in. DPN is N1WJD (made by Delta). It's "modular" so be sure to get all the matching modular-cables.
If after-market, I would go with something like a mid-to-high-end 750-850w Corsair.
Whatever one you pick needs to not only fit, but also have TWO EPS Power-Cables (one for CPU and one for GPU-Power socket on motherboard). These are in addition to the others like MB-Main-Power and the PCIe-Power Cables (that go directly to the side of the video-card).

The Aurora R7 PSU is standard ATX format which is 150mm wide, 86mm tall, and the length will vary. You should consider a fully modular PSU between 140mm and 150mm long . . . any longer will eat into your cable management space. This is a list of PSUs that meet the aforementioned criteria between 850 watts and 1000 watts pcpartpicker
