Power Supplys and M-ITX motherboards

[Akadi_Nor]

OK, so I'm trying to build another pc, but...

I'M AT AN IMPASS! (que scary music)

My plan so far for a motherboard is to use the: ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe mITX LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 1PCI-E16 SATA3 DVI HDMI DisplayPort USB3.0 Motherboard

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=71116&vpn=P8Z77-I%20Deluxe&manufacture=ASUS

My case of choice is the: Bitfenix Prodigy mITX MINI-ITX Tower Case Midnight Black 1X5.25EXT 5X3.5INT No PS Top USB3.0 Audio

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=71143&vpn=BFC-PRO-300-KKXSK-RP&manufacture=BitFenix

In my build, so my only problem is, WHAT POWER SUPPLY DO I NEED?

(yes, it is dramatic)

I'm getting very overwhelmed by everything on NCIX.com and just need a solution.

Thanks if you read this,

Greater thanks if you help.

that depends on what else you are going to throw in there?

with a motherboard like that let me asume you are going to put in a decent gfx card.. which means you should pick up any 80+ certified 500watt psu.

500watts should be enough for pretty much anything in a case that small and an mITX mobo. But if you are not going to have a dedicated GPU, then a 300watt is enough, actually lower than that, but dont know how many there are below 300watt..

Whynot go with the Airflow edition of the Prodigy? the Airflow one looks fantastic :d

PS: i don't mean the High Airflow editon.. I mean the one with standart mesh in front.. the front mesh can be bought externally and Imprives the airflow a LOT

I'm one step ahead of you. the standard mesh prodigy is the one I'm buying

Heres what I would like to throw in the prodigy: Cooler Master Extreme 2 Power Plus 475W ATX 12V Energy Star Power Supply 20/24PIN 120mm Fan

I'm just wondering if it will fit in the case, and not blow out the motherboard I referenced in an earlier post on this thread.

I haven't decided on the GPU yet, but I want a decent one, capable of some raw video editing, light to medium gaming, light 3D animation.

(My purpose in all this is to start a gaming channel on the YouTubes)
