Nice! Mini/Micro ATX builds always look cool.

OT:

That motherboard looks unusually large, maybe it's just the spreading?

WHEN PEOPLE BUY A loving 750 TI WITH A 750W PSU

[Pie Crust]

Got a new PC, bitches! I bought an Intel i3 and an MSI motherboard. I forgot the models so as soon as Wandoes finishes installing, I'll edit this post and put it here.

Sad news is, my 1200w PSU exploded so I got two 500W PSUs for my previous PC and this one. Can 500w support a motherboard, an i3, one laptop HDD, and a GeForce GTX 980?


It appears to be a  H77MA-G43 motherboard. Does someone know where I can download the drivers for this? It doesn't seem to have PCI x16 slots to insert my wireless adapter nor does it have the ethernet research drivers.

I prefer those kind of kind of cases with minimalist designs, makes things simpler and more stylish, unlike this: http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/attachments/general-hardware-discussion/22339d1211446175-acer-aspire-predator-gaming-pc-acerpredatorlarge.jpg

All of my stuff came in the mail, put it together and now have a massive update!
Goodbye, AMD Athlon x64 2.0GHz dual, 768MBs DDR2 RAM, 60GB HDD, NVidia GeForce 5200

And hello Intel i5 x64 3.0GHz quad, 8GBs DDR3 RAM, WD Blue 1TB, NVidia GeForce GT 780.


I can now feel the world of 60fps! :D Five times faster of what I'm used to! I am planning on getting a GeForce GTX 980 (The 780 was a gift). Would it run with a 500w PSU or do I need to update?


Also, what is the difference between other than the ridiculous price? (They're in pesos, not USD)

Honestly I love micro atx builds, but the 750ti seems like you're trying to save money where it's not necessary. I would suggest a 970 or 2x 970 build next time you build/upgrade. Those bad boys will last you for a while (Especially for 4k). Also, may I ask why a 750 psu? Unless you're running Xeon's you really don't need that much power for a small build like this.
