Dell XPS 8930 - Upgrading PSU
Hello,
I currently own the XPS 8930 for half a year now and would like to upgrade my PSU as my PC seems to just randomly turn off due to lack of power.
My current basic specs are as follows:
i7-9700 @ 3ghz
rtx 2060
RAM 16gb
HDD 2TB
SDD 500gb
PSU: 450W
I was wondering if anyone is able to answer if I am able to swap out my current 450w with a 750w, such as the corsair RM750x.

Here are some links about upgrading the PSU. Some PSUs are slightly smaller and fit better, not sure about the Corsair RM 750x.

I notice that the 2nd Thread has used the "Seasonic Focus Plus Gold" Range, which has slightly smaller dimensions:-
140 mm (L) x 150 mm (W) x 86 mm (H)

I have no personal experience of either of the mentioned PSUs, but did notice that the "Seasonic Focus Plus Gold" was modular as well!
However, since the XPS 8930 is quite crowded, I had wondered whether the "Seasonic Focus Plus Gold" would be a slightly better option simply because it was slightly smaller and, as well, you can easily ONLY use the Cables that are required - hence also possibly improving Air-Flow??
