Apparently i have a micro atx motherboard. Will this psu be compatible with that motherboard? Does it even make a difference?

The size of your motherboard is irrelevant. The power connections are what you need to be paying attention to. In most cases you should have your 20+4 and either a 4 or 8 pin atx power input on the board. The question is will you case with that micro atx board fit everything you plan to put into it.

An ATX power supply will work for this motherboard, provided your case supports ATX power supply size (most desktop cases do). This is the PSU I paired up with this motherboard: Corsair Builder Series Bronze Certified Power Supply 430Link: Corsair CX Series, CX430, 430 Watt (430W) Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified

My PC model is different but the part number is the same so it should work. Just in case look the PSU model in your PC.P.S It has been a while since i installed this PSU and remember that this replacement came with more cables than the original. I managed to pushed them in because I didn't want to return the unit or cut the extra cables but the PSU was working.

It should work with anything that uses a standard ATX PSU and should have all the connectors you need.

I would not think so, judging from the mini ITX form factor of the case. This PSU is designed for ATX/microATX cases. I haven't worked with ITX builds though so take this with a grain of salt. I would suggest doing some research on it. :)

Motherboard shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you have the right wattage on your PSU.

It dose not plug into the motherboard it connects with a 4 pin that comes from your PSU. No it dose not affect performance.

I don't know that specific mobo. But this psu will work with any motherboard just fine. It's theother hardware you use in your computer that determines if the 850 Watt will be enough.

I am using an Asus Sabertooth board along with an AMD 8core Processor. The PSU should work right from what I am understanding from you guys.

Im running mine with a corsair 750 w power supply and it is running fine. Im not one hundred percent sure but maybe give pcpartspicker a try and just put what you have andd the graphics card to the build.

yes it would, but if you're upgrading the PSU, why not go a bit higher in wattage? I'd personally get at least a 525w for this system. They did upgrade the stock PSU to a 500W, but it's a no name that I wouldn't trust and doesn't have enough connectors to do anything but run the rig as is.

It should. I'm using a AMD E-350 mini ITX board and the PSU is nowhere near the CPU

It's really more complicated than that, the card itself is 60W TDP (Thermal Design Point). You must consider your system's makeup -- i.e. processor, expansion cards, USB devices, drives, # monitors, and memory. Try searching on "power supply calculators" to see.That said, this card's TDP is so low, most systems should run it fine. A 300W PSU with an i7 CPU and lots of peripherals might have issues.

What you need to be concerned with is the fact that this power supply is ATX. So you need a ATX motherboard and case that fits ATX components. Mid vs full make no diff

Provided there is an open pci slot on the pc (which you can find out by opening it up) and the psu is putting out 400 - 500 watts you should be fine. Upgrading stock PC's can be tricky though, I wouldn't recommend it personally, hard to get it to the standard you want.

the "micro" in the case designation refers to the maximum size motherboard it can accommodate, not the power supply that can be installed ... this case can use any "standard" size ATX supply

it is your PSU that you need to check .. I believe it should work I have a 750 corsair PSU but i have 32 gb ram and an i7 and 3 harddrives
