    Hi,
    In my mind, i'm close to upgrade my GPU to gtx780m or waiting maybe for a gtx8xxm :)
    BUT i saw that my alienware was delivered with an 180W.
    I think my old m17x R3 is a 240W charger.
    Can i switch the 180w with 240w for my new alienware even if i still have a little config right know?
    Hope someone hace done this or understood what i mean :)
    Thanks!

    I believe they are compatible and should not have any issues.
