Power Supply
Right, I have a Dell Inspiron 560s but I want to upgrade the power supply, get a new case and a new graphics card because I want to run games. However Ive heard that Dell sometimes uses a different type of power supply and Im wondering where I can get these

The inspiron 560s has a 250w TFX power supply, your choices for an upgrade is limited and is either a 300w, or a 400w power supply.
The 300w TFX unit can be purchased from www.newegg.com and the 400w power supply from HERE

Will you be able to use a new case?
Dell typically uses a custom connector between the motherboard and front panel. Wiring for that connector isn't available so unless you can map it, you may not be able to use a different case... Something to consider...
