Default Psu for Dell

I've decided to get a new video card (8600gts) but I need a new psu as well. Usually this is a pretty simple task...but since I'm dumb and went with dell (Dimension E521) finding a psu that will work is a little harder than usual. After looking around, even psus that are made for Dells, are ATX, and the E521's have BTX mobos (Right? The mobo i son the left side so its a btx ....right?)

After searching around a little more, I think I've found something that'll work for ATX and BTX mobos, and its this.

Can somebody please verify if this will work or not? Thanks.

its supposed to say "Right? The mobo is on the left side, so that makes it a btx...right?" but there were a few typos...and it won't let me edit it so I just made a new post.

Ring Dell if you want the genuine item.

Alternatively a generic PSU will fit but will require some case metal modification.

You could also get a new generic case, now is as good a time as any to transfer to generic spec to avoid this in the future.
