[SOLVED] Mini ITX build

[0v3rl0rd]

Hi

So I'm building a PC for a use in a restaurant mainly as a cash register.
What I was going for is a mITX build like the following:

Option 1:
CPU: AMD Athlon 200GE
MBO: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac
RAM: G.SKILL Aegis F4-3000C16S-8GISB

Option 2:
CPU: Intel G4900
MBO: ASRock B360M-ITX/ac
RAM: G.SKILL Aegis F4-3000C16S-8GISB

CASE would be one of these two:

1. LC-Power LC-1320II - comes bundled with a 90 watt PSU
2. LC-Power LC-1350mi - comes bundled with a 70 watt PSU

I know there are some other (a bit cheaper) options regarding MBO, but these are the only components that I'm able to buy here where I live.


My question is: will these (70 or 90 watt) PSU be enough for this build?

Do yourself a favor and source a refurbished SFF from the 3rd or 4th gen Intel core series. Readily available around $100 with OS, operational. I have seen them as low as 35-ish with no HDD/OS

Yes refurbished SFF-- means "small form factor" you can get sec gen i5 for low cost. below is a dell SFF link options

Thank You for Your suggestions, but, I don't like buying refurbished or used PCs. And, it's not about performance - both the G4900 and the Athlon 200GE will be more than enough for the task.
The only doubt I'm having about is the consumption, i.e. if the PSU will be enough...?

This can help you with a wattage estimate.

Pick parts. Build your PC. Compare and share.

It says 60W for the AMD build... ordered that one...
Thank You all for helping

No, I would recommend what a similar manufacturer recommends in the user manual -
Asus ROG STRIX B360-I GAMING:
Power supply that complies with ATX 12v Specification 2.0 or later and provides a minimum power of 350 watts.

Do not forget to connect the 8-pin EATX 12v power plug.

Also, Intel B360 Chipset does not support 3000MHz memory. It supports DDR4 2666 / 2400 / 2133 non-ECC, un-buffered memory.

The Celeron G4900 supports 2400MHz memory.
The AMD Athlon 200GE supports 2666MHz memory.

Thank You for the advice about the memory - I changed it to a HyperX Fury of a lower frequency.

That's the info I was looking for: "Power is certainly sipped with our all-out stress test hitting a measly 70W from the wall for the entire system while running OCCT Linpack and Unigine Heaven at the same time". My build will never run anything like OCCT or Unigine heaven, so, no need to worry there.
When I think again, I will do a single stress test, just for fun
Anyway, I will see if their measurements hold true when I receive my build and put it on a wattmeter
Thank You

Just wanted to inform people that helped me here - the build is finished.
About the wattage - below are the pics while running AIDA64 stability test.

NOTE: ignore the VRM temperature - it's not accurate since the Fatal1ty B450 Gaming-ITX/ac doesn't have a VRM sensor (LINK1, LINK2)
