If i'm looking to expand the power supply. Is there a limitation on this case? I feel like I may want larger than a 400w.

Devin W, The chassis accepts standard ATX size power supplies. Please be aware that proper installation, of a new power supply or any other component, that does not damage the system will *not* void your warranty.

300W is barely enough if you use the onboard video, depending on the CPU power requirement. If you add in a separate video card, you really should go up to 450W or 500W.

Yes, that is way too big - not sure where they are getting those specs even if they are including the cables? Anyway, I would look here for the actual size of the supply: http://www.evga.com/products/pdf/100-B1-0500-KR.pdf

Yes, Should have no problem fitting it in there. It comes with 4 screws so mounting shouldn't be a problem. Just remember, this is only 460 watts. Don't overload it with too many drives or graphics cards. Also, the cables aren't that short. Medium length at best, and that's a small case. When I used this PSU in my mid size case, I had no problem reaching the wires from the bottom to the top where my cpu power was

my system has a 350W power supply..does that mean i am ok getting this card? or do i need a separate 300w supply? sorry i am new to this... any insight would be appreciated... thanks

I am using 400W power supply with this card and it works just fine. This card has pretty low power requirement especially since it has no cooling fans. This card is designed to be fully fanless by using bigger heat sinks. I mainly used it for the good performance, smaller profile and fanless design. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Hi dude, the box says: "500Watts or greater power supply". If you have a certified (real) 500W PSU, you'll be ok.

Depends on what other components you plan on adding (ex. graphics cards, # of drives). Use a Power Supply calculator to determine your wattage needs. There is plenty of room for a power supply, even a longer one. I have a CX600 from Corsair and it fits just fine!

Thank you for your inquiry. There should be no limitation as long as it is connected with appropriate power power supply that has more wattage than what you have connected. Please feel free to let us know if you have any additional question or inquiry. Thank you.

This is a really great card. however, your concern is correct. I wouldn't try running it on a power supply that is less then 700w just to be safe. I currently run a 1100w Therm, and have had no problems.

400 would be pushing it. I have a 600w and it does fine. I would say the minimum would be 500w but it really depends on your total power consumption system wide.

Go with a quality power supply like a 300w seasonic and you'll be fine. Always go name brand on a psu. Never go cheap. A 430w power supply will give you a little overhead to add a graphics card in the future if you want to do dual graphics, but even 430w will be overkill if the card can run off of the pcie bus.

I remember swapping out a power supply for a friend that had the slimline architecture. 300 watts was enough and it did fit into the computer. Be sure you have the screws lined up.

400W is the min required for the card as long as you are only going to run 1 and you have at least 1 6 pin pci supplementary power connector coming off the power supply. if there is no 6 pin pci supplementary power connector then the PSU is not compatible.

Yes I have a 500watt power supply and it runs great unlessential you are try to do crossfire then I would get a higher watt power supply

The wattage of the card is 95WI would double check your wattage but just from that info I can calc 404w for the full system.I would look into getting a larger PSU. I always over shoot my systems on wattage.
