This is what I meant by cutting the grill of the existing PSU. See, the case has a grill and the PSU has a grill, so the air has to go through both.
Cutting the grill of the PSU instead of the case is the better idea for two reasons.
1) Grills closer to the fan can cause noise.
2) It doesn't change the way the exterior looks.
For a replacement PSU, that Seasonic I linked to is reasonably good quality and inexpensive, and is very similar in size/shape. 250W is totally more than any hardware you can physically shove into the case can pull. If you took the stock PSU and cut off half the fan so that nothing stuck out, it would be the same size as the Seasonic PSU. The only problem then is the power cord. On the stock PSU it comes out the other end as a cable, with the jack on the back of the case.
If I swapped, I would try to gut the two PSUs and shove the Seasonic guts into the stock PSU casing.
Here it is. You can see how it is routed on the edge of the metal rail. This is what he said.
"removing the heatshrink covering the IEC jack and the filter. The filter originally pointed towards the PSU, but that would block the heatsink, so I turned it upwards."
Don't doubt. Use a Kill-A-Watt to find out what your system really uses. Results will surprise you.
FWIW my stock clocked 2500K and Radeon 6670 system would draw up to 138W while gaming. That number is from the wall, so the PSU is only putting out around 100W at the time (this 150W PSU is not super efficient, around 70%).
It will be fine as long as you aren't using higher wattage AMD CPUs/APUs and graphics cards that requires more power (there has been low profile cards requiring a 6-pin PCIe power). Also, don't run synthetic torture tests because those are designed to push more wattage through a system than most would actually see under normal use.
The PSU conforms to ATX specification for voltages and connectors. What more do you need? It has a 24-pin plug for your motherboard and a secondary plug for the 4-pin. There are two SATA power connectors and one mini SATA, corresponding to all the drive bays the case has. There are also two peripheral and one FDD connector, for what reason IDK.
Here is a review of this PSU running on a load tester. Yes it can actually put out every single one of the 150W, and do it within ATX specifications for voltage and ripple.
