Danbuscus25 Dignified Feb 15, 2014 5,368 0 13,960 May 9, 2014 #2 any standard psu will fit, which is about 99.99% of them. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 if you want a good quality psu at a good price, or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg620m another good quality psu, but it is semi modular. also, why not get the 8320 or i5 if you can afford a 290?

Danbuscus25 Dignified Feb 15, 2014 5,368 0 13,960 May 9, 2014 #4 yes, but the only time that would be a factor is a very high wattage psu in a mini-itx case. Upvote 0 Downvote
