I have a XPS, not sure which version it has a glossy black front panel, I/O button on top, and two USB ports on top and two on front panel, the current power supply is a 460 watt, and I want to replace it because it's old and not enough power, if any one could help, thanks.
With so many models we can't really say or even guess what the model is.
But, if its a full size tower, most within the last 10 years use standard ATX power supplies.
It should be fairly self explanatory how to remove and install a new one. The only issue is most Dell's do not have a power on/off switch and you may have to make a hole to accommodate the power switch.
The only other suggestion is to use a fully modular power supply to avoid stuffing unused power leads inside the case.

If you know the Service Tag (on a sticker somewhere on the PC), go to the Support page and enter that tag. It will tell you exactly which PC model this is.
ATX 20 PIN is wrong. EPS 12V 24 PIN 80 percent efficient with 150W combined on the 3.3V 5V RAILS.
Size also matters as the top usb ports will not allow a unit that is too long.
EVGA 750B1 works fine. The B2 B3 BQ G2 versions from the same vendor DO NOT WORK. There is a reason why the G1 is $250 and the B1 is $120. B2 ETC ARE UNDER $100 and some FAKE units that claim 750W are $29. The B1 is preferred due to price but BEWARE of any unit that claims 750W and is UNDER $100

This is a full tower if I'm not incorrect, I'm planning on putting a 600 watt in there with a power switch, but not sure how to remove the current 460
