You can use either, just be sure that your video card has all the power connectors socketed, otherwise you will have degraded performance, some cards will not work at all unless fully powered. Match the cable to you video card it does not matter which power receptacle that you use. They are just labeled for convenience.

I don't know really. The PSU unit in FD 1000 is above, so it means the GPU is close to the bottom ... My advice is - you must have at least 12 cm between upper level of GPU and the bottom of the case. Good luck! :)

If you had checked Seasonic's USA site, you would have seen this PSU is wider than your system's whole case :D.I don't see why one would want to install a top-end PSU on a computer aimed at average tasks like the Dell model you mention, but if you really want a Seasonic PSU, I think they made models for small case computers (quality isn't the same as in their best series, but still).

I bought a 750W supply to be safe. Not a big price difference and it's modular

I can't say for sure, since I don't own that model PSU, but I would say yes. The screw placement appears to be default. Also make sure the wattage is high enough for your needs.

Yes you CAN use whatever PSU would fit in your case, but you should really determine your power requirements based on your CPU, graphics card, hard drives, etc, then select an appropriate one. Your motherboard doesn't have much to do with it.

This is not a good psu. Buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEJZ1N4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ya. Power supplies and cases are fairly universal nowadays when it comes to screw layout. This has the ability to to be mounted to the bottom, just flip it so the fan goes out the bottom of the case if it has a vent underneath the spot the power supply is on. If not just keep the fan on the top.

Also go for a higher end PSU i use a Corsair AX850 thats 850 watts and its a nice single 12v rail for better power stability. Its modular so only use the cables you need for better cable management. Its a bit more expensive but rated 80 plus gold and well worth it. Enjoy

the way is laid out you can put pretty much any power supply in it, I don't use mine for gaming and only have a 550w Corsair PSU installed. Corsair CS Series, CS550M, 550 Watt (550W), Semi Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold CertifiedIt has good cable management as well to keep things neat.

Any standard PS2/ATX power supply will fit but one that's longer than the standard length will block the bottom intake fan. I would get a Corsair CX 750 If you want to have a lot of power. It can handle almost anything you want to put in this case and you can put in a bottom intake fan (not included).

Have you looked at the pics? It has both brackets--you can use either (provided you have an open PCI slot).

I just tried both until I got power. Do not remember if it was the top or bottom.

I used a 650 W PSU, but it depends on your mobo/cpu requirements. I referred to the Puget Systems site for analysis and guidance. You are likely OK - I built in some headroom for expansion later.

You can do either. But this card requires both available power adapters so take note that power consumption will be high with this card and higher running both

I agree with the Benjamin, Either is a good PSU, I went with the evga since all my GPU's and past experience has been good. Customer service has been good to me anytime I called... Good Luck buddy!
