XPS 8960, 3rd party memory usage?

I know Dell doesn't want to hear this, but their price for memory is pretty steep. On a new XPS 8960 desktop, Dell wants $450 for 64GB memory (vs 16GB). But I can buy compatible major-brand, high-quality memory (2 x 32 GB) elsewhere for $170. Can I order the XPS from Dell with 16GB, discard the 16GB

XPS 8500, possible to put a modern PSU?

I am wanting to replace the terrible 1GB Radeon HD 7570 in this with a GTX 1080, but the PSU is only 460W and I don't really trust that it will support the GTX 1080. Could I put a MSI MAG A550BN in or should I just undervolt the GTX 1080? If no because of proprietary , could I fix that? I don't have
