I'm wondering about the micro atx motherboards or small form factor PCs... I was looking at the Maximus V or was it IV... and I'm wondering what kind of PSU can you power it with? I've saw on amazon and e-bay they sell a refurbished Dell PSU for 750watts rectangular that looks like for a micro-atx or SFF PC... Would that able to fit in a sff and would it be able to power the maximus m-atx motherboard?

Or what do you use to power supply your GPU if you want a high-end GPU for a micro-ATX?

Well that depends on what case you are going to use. depending on that factor. It will be the deciding factor of what power supply you can use. A high-end gpu will require a larger output power supply They do make 5 1/2 inch bay power supplies also. So you could have a small-form power supply and use another one in the 5 1/2 bay to power the gpu. Thanks

Yip case size will determine what you can put into the box.

I used a Gene motherboard for my 24/7 rig for ages and was running a 580 card with a 450w PSU. No overclocking and it worked fine. Got warm mind you 🙂

Sorry to bother... I just have a question in regards to m-atx...
