PS Will a ATX PSU fit into a Micro-ATX Case?? Thx, Lilclungy :blink:
Atx power supply won't fit in a matx case, you'll need a matx psu, I would invest in a 500w psu. your system will use around 390-410w when in use with the graphics card.
The Problem With A New Case Is $$$$$ And Rearangeing Every Thing I Was Browsing And Found This 470w Athena Power AP-MP4ATX47FE Newegg.com - Athena Power AP-MP4ATX47FE 470W MicroATX / SFX12V / EPS12V / ATX V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready eMachines, HP Upgrades/Replacement Power Supply - Power Supplies It Says Micro-Atx Up the top but im not sure if it will fit can someone please help.
The Athena PSU will fit your case. I just built a media centre pc and bought a mATX psu, they are very small, so you won't have any problems.
