chances are you will need to replace the chassis, dell like to use proprietary plugs on eveyrhing so just check it out before you go buying parts to put in it

What Karma and neg said are good suggestions.
I would also suggest getting someone to put the parts together for you

If you're not comfortable installing parts yourself, then yes.

I'm assuming you're not an enthusiast etcetera so there could be a chance of doing harm to your PC if you're not sure what you're doing.

Better to spend a few bucks having it put together rather than breaking something.

fact is if you read up on what you are doing before hand, its fairly hard to screw anything up since alot of it will only fit one way anyway... the only thing you can easily ****up is installing the cpu into the mobo but even still if you read up on how it all goes together before hand...
