Will This Case PSU be enough?

[kyomagi]

I am building a new Mini Itx build and need an opinion

Will this cases PSU, http://www.microcenter.com/product/421216/Hadron_Air_Mini-ITX_Steel_Black_Chassis_with_500W_80Plus_Gold_Power_Supply

handle this set up

i5-4590
mini itx mobo
8gb ram
750gb HD
250gb SSD
GTX770 or R9 280

nothing else

It's a little light.

What if I drop the card to a r9 280? There is only a 10% increase so that should not be an issue for me

It's a tier 3 psu; I'd say spend a few bucks more for atleast a tier 2

Thanks for the suggestion, however I don't think microcenter has any Mini itx psu units

Do you absolutely have to go through microcenter? If you dont, use pcpartpicker and compare prices. As long as you're in eu/us/canada, you shouldn't have to pay too much for shipping. Also, I would recommend never using the stock cpu cooler

Well I can't find a good mini itx psu for my build

 

[10thmtnarty]

Ooh..ya... Did you already buy the case?

 

[kyomagi]

no, it was an option. I have a system now but i am going to be building something a bit smaller and more portable i can take to my cabin

Most micro atx can take atx power supplies. They aren't much bigger than the first xbox. I would imagine cooling can be a major issue though-if you're going small you may wanna spend a little more on cooling. Absolutely do not use the stock cpu cooler. A mini atx should be fine though in your case, even if your going by motorcycle-though I would strongly advise against that.

 

[kyomagi]

ya its fine, im gonna stick with the new white NZXT case i bought. its big, but not bad. I am def getting a after market cooler for the CPU

Most Micro ATX cases have a PSU length limit.

Ya forgot to mention that part, but most non modulars should work.
