Help spec me a PSU please!

[Hawker1986]

Hey guys,

After some advice on a PSU for my latest build, Specs so far are;

Lian-Li Q07
Asrock H61M-ITX mobo
1x4GB G.Skill DDR3 1333 RAM
i5 2500T
64GB Samsung SSD
500GB 2.5" WD HDD
Samsung DVD-RW SATA

Basically this case is very limited on space so im after some advice on what PSU would fit and not break the bank. Silverstone 500W Strider is £57 from a competitor only 140mm deep and modular, but obviously I dont need that much power for this rig so im after some ideas.

Many thanks,

Hawker

How about this;

I just got one as i'm building a scratch build mini itx,it is mighty small,cables are short though.Also comes with atx mounting bracket if you should need it.Also with your listed parts you could power a gpu if you so decided,just not a 590 and what not,obviously,be good for enough juice for a 6770 or 460 though.

There's also this;

ww.scan.co.uk/products/350w-psu-be-quiet-bn134-82-eff-80-plus-quiet-fan-matx-v32-sfx-power

maybe more what your after.Not much choice is this segment,definatly a gap in the market.

the lian li cases take full atx psu, you can mount an SFX psu but you need to get an adaptor plate.

For atx http://www.scan.co.uk/products/430w-...t-fan-atx-v231 430w and modular
Or http://www.scan.co.uk/products/500w-...iet-fan-atx-v2 500w modular + the short modular cable kit http://www.scan.co.uk/products/silve...and-other-psus (it does work with the ST50F AFAIK)

your real PSU problem is that you only need about 100W for that build, so anything you buy is going to be massive overkill - if you get a 500W PSU you're never going to get it above 20% load so it's always going to be in the low end of its efficiency curve. My advice would be to buy as low a wattage PSU as possible: how about an Antec VP350 or a Huntkey 300W 80+ Gold?
