Hello I’m a new to gaming & looking for a few answers, some advice would be appreciated thanks. My questions are, can I fit an MSI 970 into a Zoostorm Tempest ? And if so, will a CX 850M be sufficient power for...
MSI 970
AMD FX 8350
R9 390
16G Ram ?
The fan that came with it was to cool the A10 7800 CPU, can i still use this or should I get a liquid cooled?

That appears to be a mATX (microATX) case. If so, just about any mATX motherboard will fit in it. What is the specific model of the motherboard you have in mind?

The PSU is more than enough to power that rig. Even a quality 550-650w PSU will meet your needs.

Hi colgeek
I think these are the right specs!

Form factor: ATX
Socket type: Socket AM3+
Feature: Gaming, Gigabit Ethernet, Onboard Sound
Chipset brand: AMD Chipset
External ports: USB 2.0, FireWire, Ethernet, USB 3.0
Processors. Chipset AMD 970 and SB950. Main Memory. Support four DDR3-2133(OC)/1866/1600/1333/1066 up to 32GB Max.
Does this help?
Thanks

On the motherboard itself should be a model number. You can also get from the mainboard tab using the CPU-Z app.

Ahh...in that case I’ll have to wait until it arrives next week thur/fri. I should of waited until I did have it to start asking for advice 🙄. Thank you for your help so far, I’ll get back to you on this post when I actually have the motherboard!!
