Power Supply Upgrade for Dell XPS 8700
Hello all I just wanted to let anyone who was thinking about upgrading their power supply from their stock 460W to an EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 750W.
it will fit, it's tight but it will fit.
Have patience and take your time.
Thank you

pics, especially a close up of the top of the case where the top panel USB connector would be great.

This is known for a while.
Corsair TX850
EVGA SUPER NOVA
I had to remove front cover and remove optical drives to get it in then put the drives back. The usb ports on the top of the case will prevent a supply going in if its too long. The pictures below are not mine.
750 watt EVGA Super Nova 750 G1 power supply at 85mm High by 150mm Wide by 180mm Long fits, as is also true for most of the lower wattage ones.

The EVGA 750B is a different manufacturer than the EVGA 750 B2 or 750 G2.
I'm not certain but I thought the G2 was shorter than the original 750B and an easier fit.

Here is a pic of the inside of my CPU.
I didn't thing my Power Supply was going to be so long but it is what it is.
I took out my Blue Ray Drive to feed the wires in.
As you can see, things are a bit tight.

It was impossible for me to get it in without taking the front cover off and the optical drives out.
Once installed I put the optical drive back in and stuffed the excess wire underneath where the 2nd optical drive bay is.
