Trying to revive a Predator G3 - AG3-605-UR1D

[MyOpicVoid]

MoBo is shot and no power supply. I found a MoBo that I think is compatible = ASRock H97M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel

Form factor is Micro ATX so I've been looking at a CoolMax 300W Micro ATX Power Supply. Looks like I'm limited on these power supplies. Are there any ATX power supplies that will work on this mobo and fit in the Predator case?

Thanks for reading.

Update. No responses so I'm looking at purchasing the following to revive this system.

1. Power Supply - EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W

2. MoBo - Gigabyte Micro ATX DDR3 LGA 1150 SATA 6Gb/s Motherboard (GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5)

3. HD - Seagate 1TB Desktop SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drive) SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive

4. Video card - GTX970

Might even buy this: Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB - M.2 SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-N5E250BW) to load windows on.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks to all that reply.

That looks like a regular case, if you pick the CoolMax 300 watt, you should expect some nice sparks when you try to run your system with the 970 card in it. For a good budget PSU this is great http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093&ignorebbr=1 good quality, modular, good price (for the quality).

From what I see about that model, the motherboard is fine for it. Unless you need the space, I'd get a full SSD drive, not a hybrid. Even if you need the space, a budget 500 gb SSD is about 120, you may want to do that. The m.2 sata drive is good, but only if the motherboard supports it.

Thanks for replying. I switched to the EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W after reading on how to size the PSU. Thanks for your recommendation. I'll compare the 2.

Well I went with the following components:

MB = Gigabyte Micro ATX DDR3 LGA 1150 SATA 6Gb/s Motherboard
HD = Seagate 1TB Desktop SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drive) SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DX001)
M2 = Samsung 850 EVO - 250GB - M.2 SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-N5E250BW)
Power Supply = EVGA 600 B1, 80+ BRONZE 600W, 3 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Power Supply 100-B1-0600-KR

Installed CPU, memory, graphics card and then tested the power supply by using the supplied jumper. PS fan started to spin. Connected the power supply and tested before I placed the MB in the case and nothing. PS fan never spun nor could I see any life on the MB ( On this MB nat sure what I would see since the board really doesn't have any led's showing the power is active.) - no fan activity on the Power supply.

Scratching my head I sent the MB back thinking it might have been DOA but the new board did the same thing.

I'm perplexed.

Thanks to anybody offering any help.
