Dell Optiplex 9020 SSF PSU upgrade help

Hi everyone I have a dell optiplex 9020 SSF and I have moved everything into a thermaltake s100 tg case, im using the power button from the previous case and im getting a orange flashing light im about 70% sure its a PSU issue so im looking to upgrade it the size isn't an issue because of my new case i just dont know if there are any certain ones to get or ones you cant get i know I'll need a 24 to 8 pin adapter im running the standard CPU, 32gb of ram and a GTX 1650 low profile GPU on it i want a PSU that will be good for a while and for when I come to upgrade the motherboard in the future any help, advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated

if your 9020 can still power on and send video the amber led of original power button is probably due to something else.  suggest replace cmos battery a new one then clear cmos settings by mobo jumper

psu can upgrade to any good name brand plus 24-8 pin adapter.

Amber LED State
Description
2,1
system board failure
2,2
system board, PSU or PSU cabling failure
 
is it blinking 2 1 or 2 2.  video not clear.
for psu concern you can do a BIST.
for board issue follow my 1st reply
