Anyone familiar with a Studio XPS 8100? Please help!
I have a studio XPS 8100 that I bought off craigslist about a month ago and has been good thus far. It has a i7 860 and a GTX 960 in it. The monitor has my CPU hitting about 75C when I play H1Z1. When playing other games I do fine and bounce in the 55-65C range. I want to upgrade my powersupply and get a better CPU cooler because those high tempatures worry me a little. Would any of you know what PSU I could get that would fit? If so, please link me or add me and inform me on what PSU's I could put in.

75c is fine on an 1366 i7
they will throttle at around 100c

gtx960 is a low power gpu, the stock 500w psu will be fine with it
it its the 350w model, get a quality 450-500w psu

cx430 is often on sale for $40 and $20 rebate

XPS 8100 use standard ATX PowerSupply.
Given those Dell shipped with a 350-watt PSU, I'd inspect the one u have in yours, as the owner most likely already changed it for the purpose of that GTX 960. Then determine if u need another and/or better one.

For that I'd look at any of these...
