custom gamming pc with xbox case

[juggalojcox]

hey there, this is my first post and i need some help, i am building a sff gaming pc but i want to use an xbox case. By using a pico 200w power supply ( or 2) i can cut down on the space inside the case and have more room for the gpu i want to use. Tje build will be of i3 4150, gtx 750 ti and 8gigs ram with a 256 gig ssd all running off a mini itx mobo. Might need to use a pci riser card but ill need to check that later. Anyway any help would be great

Help with what exactly?

Sorry, i was looking to see if that power supply would be sufficient for my build

No the PSU needs to be at least 300W for minimum requirements. For the GPU

Well about that, on cyberpowerpc with there syber vaper line, it shows that you only need a 250w power supply so thats kinda of were i am getting that i could get away with this

Chances are, no, you're not going to get away with a 200w PSU, even if it looks borderline if you use a calculator, you always want to go a large bit more in case you, I don't know, want to plug in something via USB or even maybe OC later on, without starving your system.

I would say with that kind of system, you want at least 300w.

Or maybe i could just use one of thoese alienware x51 power boards and get a 330w brick for it

Well if you have a 200 watt it's not 250 and you're forgetting that other components besides the CPU and GPU use watts as well most ram takes at least 1.5v which could be an extra few watts to deal with for the Gtx 750 ti i have the

Thermal and Power Specs:
60 WGraphics Card Power (W)
300 WMinimum System Power Requirement (W)

you need to have a minimum system that reaches 300 watts. and did this PC use a different Processor? WHat's the ITX board called?

I haven't decided on it at motherboard just yet, and i know the power is low that's why I was thinking of using two of them, or get a alienware x51 power board and a 330 brick for it

Amd the cpu will be a i3 4150

Amd the cpu will be a i3 4150

If you get an Intel you need a Intel Mobo not a AMD one I hope that alienware mobo is compatibile or you'll have a rough time.

I'm not familliar with the 330 brick for the PSU's so im not sure if it'll be compatible, but it should be if you've done enough research on it

Sorry not amd, i meant and the cpu will be i3 4150
