According to techradar.com it is an 850W power supply: http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/pc-mac-desktops/alienware-aurora-r5-1323301/review. When I opened the case I did not notice the power supply. The motherboard is not a big name brand; it is labeled alienware so I do not know who makes the board. I would note that it is very easy to replace a hard drive so I removed the 1T drive and replaced it with a 3T drive. The OS is on the SSD so there is no worry about reinstalling the system. In addition, I would note there are two slots on the bottom of the chassis that allows you to install two additional SSD's, but that is not in the specs. There are only two main issues with this computer, the DVD drive is a thin drive made from plastic so you cannot replace the internal DVD drive with any store bought drive, nor is there another slot for another DVD drive. The second issue is that the cooler is partially obstructed according to reports on various sites. Inside the case, the internals are cramped but you can get to the video board and hard drive. The bios is UEFI with a secure boot and I had difficulty getting into the bios using the F2 key but you can use win 10 options for recovery to get in to the bios. You will have to turn off the secure boot option if you want to boot from a dvd or USB. If you can live with the quirks, then it is worth having a very fast computer.
