General PSU question for Alienware X51 R3 I3 6100 duo core

My system currently has 180 watt PSU, from my understanding this system can by upgrade with two other external adapter power supplies: 240 and the 330. If this is correct, than if I purchase the 330 watt for uture upgrades, will it do any damage to my current system that has all default hardware in it, I3 dual core processor 6100, video card: GTX 745? Or am I way off on my thinking about the PSU power supply?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The system will automatically use the extra watts.

Regardless of hardware configuration, all of the X51's can use the 330w AC adapters.

ok. plan to purchase the 330w AC adapter, Do I need to make any system changes to take advantage of the extra watts? I also upgraded the 8 GB 2133 MHz to 32 GB 2400 MHz.
