need new PSU

techlover69 · February 19, 2015

Recently I have burnt out my old power supply, and I am looking for a new one, the problem is they recommend a standard ATX PSU for my Micro ATX case which makes it hard to find a power supply with enough power that also fits that size.

My case: http://www.aerocool.us/pgs/pgs-q/qx2000.htm

The case recommends a depth of no greater than 140mm, or else things get very cramped( i have 140 atm and its tight)

I am looking at other PSUs and most are about 160mm, which is almost over by about an inch, so I don't know if it will fit.

These are some I've been looking at:

160mm

165mm

I have an i7 3770k processor and a GTX770 graphics card if you need to know. Thanks!

My old PSU was 750W, i'm looking to upgrade it just a little so I can make sure I will have enough power, which is why i'm looking at the 800W range, but they are just a bit too large.

Not sure what to do, the 140mm depth is literally the limit with the hard drive not even an inch away. It's pretty tight. Maybe there's another 750W PSU that could work? That last one I bought was only about $40, so I think maybe the wattage was fine and it was just a poorly made PSU...
