    PSU Swap for Alienware Area-51 desktop

    I am looking for a good psu swap for Alienware Area-51. It has a Intel Core i7 processor and 4GB ram. It is high end system. But somehow the psu is not working. I tried to turn it on. The system is out of warranty. I called dell and they are asking too much money for that. I think it is a psu problem. I had tested it another one where the system turned on. But I am unable to figure out which will be a good psu. On my psu the system is restarting.

    Alienware Area-51 is an extreme edition desktop. You need a high end psu for the same. I am going to recommend you one here. It is a high end series and ideal for gaming pc. It is costly but a best model. The model is Antec HCG-750. Try to find out this in your local market. It will be costly if you buy online. As per your system model you need a 750w or higher psu to get good output. If you go with lower one then your system will not work fine.

    I had checked the specification here that shows this system needs a very high end power supply. And I also the above one will work. It is not really necessary that you have to buy something from Dell only. You can use your own model also. You just have to find the power supply requirement. As per the specification this system needs a 1000w psu. But still a good quality psu can do the job if it is lower.
