Power supply upgrade for Alienware X51 R2? Early 2013 model

Question

So apparently the adapter isn't strong enough to support the Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 and has murdered two of them. I need to know what adapter is strong enough to handle it. As to why Dell/Alienware never told me that the power supply was too weak is outrageous.

You need the 330w PSU.  However, which GTX 760 do you have?

I have the Nvidia GeForce GTX 760. How do I tell the watts on my current power supply?

Game7a1 · Answer

Watts = Amps * Voltage.  Let me rephrase my question. Which brand of the GTX 760 do you have? Is it factory overclocked?

Haopeng · Answer

I have the Zotac version of the Nvidia GPU.

Haopeng · Answer

The 2gb one I think. I can't tell because the card has died 3 times in the past year and tech support pointed out a PSU failure is much more likely then 3 cards dying in that short period of a time. My power supply adapter is 329.55W output.
