i was given an old hp pentium computer

[jagsta21]

i was given a HP Pavilion p6112p it runs ok (note it has only a 300w psu) will my asrock h97 pro4 fit in the case paired with an i5 4590? will the psu be able to run it all? i just have a spare i5 and a motherboard i need a place to stick with power.

Nope, sorry. That HP PC only fits a micro ATX motherboard (mATX). Your ASROCK board is a full sized motherboard. Even if it would fit, I wouldn't put a newer i5 chipset with the cheap PSUs that HP use in their consumer grade OEM builds...especially one that is already probably 6+ years old. You would be asking for frying your CPU/motherboard.

I agree with 10tacle, do NOT trust that cheap PSU even if you ATX mobo fits.

If you really feel like you NEED to cheap out on your PSU the only thing I would recommend you consider is an Antec Basiq of appropriate wattage.
