So I'm not that great a PCs which is why I've had my PC build by computerplanet. However, I did install my 980Ti GPU ;) but ok here is the front: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and here is the back: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Do I have any hope of uninstalling this power supply and trying to install a EVGA Super NOVA 850W???

So much cables going everywhere and some are tied together...

Is.. There... Any... Hope...

Yes lol, cut the ties and un-plug them. It's simple.

When installing the new PSU, make sure they are all firmly seated and you shouldn't have a problem.

The PSU should have markings on telling you what thing goes where. Same with the connectors themselves.

Yes its possible but why would you want to do so?

In terms of replace the PSU, it would be as simple as knowing / remembering where the cables go. Un cable managing them whack it out and replace with the new one.

I mean, that PSU isn't great but it will do. Its a very very basic PSU but it works. I would only replace it if:

You have money to burn
It blows on you.

You guys make it sound so easy but I'm looking at it and it just looks like mayhem and not as straight forward as you both say... Like other connectors from the PSU have other connectors on them like wtf

It is as simple as that, we do it on a regular basis, and more complex ones than this, take it from me. This one is clean... I'd link you to the back of my case, but I'd break my camera...

If you can plug in your phone to charge it, you can do this.

This, the back of my case is a mess but then that comes with silly amounts of cables, some of which aren't long enough which makes a direct route necessary, which looks crap.

I'm on the same boat. OP you should just really sit down, look at your current PSU and notice what runs where. A new PSU won't be exactly the same however, it's the same basic setup. Everything has a place.
