I'd rather not do it on my own. I know that the people that have done it before understand how hard/easy it is, and the risks involved.
But the most I've done is reformatted a hard drive, reinstalled windows, and looked inside the case (I didn't even partition the hard drive).
Now, I don't mind trying. I just don't want to make a $1-2k mistake because I don't know what I'm doing. It's worth the money to avoid that mistake.
Plus, I do want the OS on a SSD and i don't know how to clone the HD. I'd like to speed up my Firefox that's starting to lag. There's some interface issues with my dual monitors glitching. And I want to make sure the mobo, ram, pins, and all of the other important attributes are compatible. (And troubleshoot problems if something goes wrong).
I kinda prefer to learn so I can do some builds in the future, but I'll follow your advice on what you think I should do.

Well, my suggestion would be to try it yourself, keeping in mind that you can continue to update this thread for help. Lots of people here to chime in, including me. But really, the vast majority of my acquired knowledge started with reading about something somebody else already did.
I bet the first video result would be all you needed here
Google Results: How to change a Dell power supply
If you find a tutorial to be unclear, I'm sure we can fill in the gaps.
I wrote a pretty detailed tutorial on cloning a HDD to SSD, but it contained tons of screenshots, which the forum converts to links. I could throw it into a doc file and share it if you want.
