and would there be a worry of getting some that provide over 500w? or will it regulate automatically?

 

As in if it totaled over 500W, that would be fine, same concept as components inside a system they only use what is needed even with an overly large PSU.

sorry im really out of my field here lol. would you be able to give me an example of something like a 300w ac-dc converter?

It's not going to be cheap since high wattage laptop adapters go with expensive or high end laptops. You need to check what connection type the power module uses ideally to see what kind of connection it uses since many laptops use different adapters.

i found a good one but its 240w. is that even an option?

Two of them together will give you approx 480W so you would be shy on the 500W capability of the PSU module but it will work.

so would that be a problem with running the power supply? does it need 500w to run? or is that just a max capacity?

That is it's max capacity so your limited to 480W instead if you choose to go this route. Just wondering why use something like this when you could modify a mount for a SFX unit for a bit more room if the ATX unit just takes up too much space.

im going for a completely fanless build... just cuz.

Why not just get a regular atx fanless PSU then, it would be less work:

because i want a good graphics card as well, but to have a good graphics card i need a heatsink, and the one i am planning to buy would interfere with a psu

If your going for a fanless system on a 6600K your not going to be able to do much in terms of overclocking then since it will hit thermal limits very quick, why not just invest in higher quality fans like Noctuas to get the best of both worlds. And there wouldn't really be a PSU that would work very easily in that kind of setup most fanless ones theses days are standard ATX.

if i could find a smaller heatsink, even if i have to change the graphics card to a different one, i would be able to fit the atx psu
