I am looking to build a system using an AMD AM1 5350, 4gb ram, GTX 650, single hdd and an optical drive. I am making my own custom case out of an old xbox360 so I need to get the smallest psu that I can. By my math the system should draw about 120w.

 

Thanks in advance for the help/suggestions

Rig: AMD FX 8350, Asus Sabertooth 990fx, 16gb Corsair Vengence, Gigabyte R9 290 4GB, Noctua NH-12S, Samsung 840 Evo, WD 1TB Black, Corsair C70, Monitors: Samsung Syncmaster SA350, Acer 193w, Mouse: Cyborg RAT 5. Window 7 Pro

Laptop: Asus x75vd, Intel i5 3210M, 8gb RAM, Nvidia 610m 1gb, 750gb hdd

PS2, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox360

PicoPSU, but that might not be enough to run a 650. If you can get a 750 then it will work

I already have the 650 on my main rig that im going to steal. Are there any pico psu with the 6pin for the gpu?

 

Thanks, but a little expensive and a bunch more connectors than im going to use

If you can get the 150W kit or 160W kit for PicoPSU then you should be fine. The 5350 barely takes any power at all. The PicoPSU has one molex output that you could connect a molex-to-PCIe adapter to run the 650. Although most adapters take two molex connectors, the 650 will be fine with only one connected.

If you don't have any I have one I could possibly send you as you're in Canada and CP is pretty cheap lettermail

Thanks I have one of the molex to 6pin adapters, I just didn't know that you could run it with only one molex. How safe would it be to run off a single molex instead of 2?
