Re: no0b question concerning mobo/case/ps combo
ATX is an industry standard
so if you buy an ATX case, it will have suitable mounting points for ATX motherboards.
Motherboards may be ATX, micro ATX and various in betweens but if you have an ATX case all ATX boards will fit
*Unless the case your buying specifically says Micro ATX only
Practically all standard power supplys are ATX but there are various revisions.
Go to the website of your motherboard manufacturer and look at technical details of the power supply needed.
older atx have a 20pt power connector
less old 20pt and a 4pt
newer 20/24 and 4/8pt plus various
additionally if your using PCI express video cards you may need an extra power cable for that.
If your using SLI youll need a SLI certified power supply
Hope this helps
Just looked at your motherboard - you need an ATX 2.01 power supply
If your video card needs an additional power cable make sure you get a psu with them.Comment
