just bought a new case, its an atx mid-tower and it doesnt come with a psu. i was wondering if i can just go to newegg and buy a atx psu and will it fit into the case? or would it depends? i havent recieved the case yet, but i wanted to get the psu the same time i recieved my case so i can move my stuff into the new case.
woowoo
any atx psu will fit.
Make sure not to get a cheap one though. Name brands like Antec, thermaltake, enermax, and some otehrs are the best ones.
Post which one you are loooking at before buying ti so we can tell you if it's good.
k thanks....cuz i went on newegg and i looked under category and i saw atx, microatx, atx12v, atx 2.03....and i was so confused...Originally Posted by rossco_2004
how about powmax...do they make any good psu? i saw one on newegg and the reviews suggested that it was pretty good. i know i want to stay away from thermaltake and antec because im kinda on a budget as i need to get a mobo too....hehe

" i know i want to stay away from thermaltake and antec because im kinda on a budget as i need to get a mobo too....hehe" Don't worry Motherboards are overated...you don't really need one
another question...how much power do i really need? my old microatx machine is running on a 300w psu and its fine. I know some of the higher gfx card requires more power, but would a 350/400 be enough?
woowoo
400watt should be enough.
Providing the quality of the PSU is decent of coarse....400watt should be enough.
