No bother. This is presuming you have a newish PC. In some older PCs and or Dell/Compaq machines the PSUs are differerent sizes. Came accross this a few times when upgrading old machines. Anyway aside from that open pc and diconnect all power supply conectors to motherboard,HDDs etc. Unscrew the four screws on the outside of the case that hold the PSU in place. Remove and connect new PSU and all power supply conectors. Easy peasy. P.S. Goverment health warning. Make sure PC is switched off and unplugged before you attempt to do this. :-)
