You need the 330w PSU, and that's essentially the only PSU you can upgrade to.

It will. Alienware uses the same 330w PSU for the X51 R3 with GTX 970.
Speaking of the GTX 970, which one are you getting?

You want to get a blower style GPU (1 fan at the far end of the GPU). EVGA, ASUS, MSI, and PNY have blower-style GTX 970s, and they will fit without a problem.
