What if my PSU is Physically too small/too big for my case?

[JoeyStrickGaming]

I'm just wondering, I want to get this PSU: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139228&ignorebbr=1

 

But I also have the case of this Pre-Built: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA9JA6UM0025&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+PC-_-9SIA9JA6UM0025&gclid=CjwKCAjwuO3cBRAyEiwAzOxKsmbiS_tFOiicX_XFFD_lCeumEQgzIA3p6vFiNYjFNa0kJr0q9QyovBoCVjYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

I'd just like to know if it was too big, if it's safe to lie it on my wooden desk, or it it's too small, if I could do the same or still put it in my case.

Why do you want to replace the PSU?

[JoeyStrickGaming]

I'd like to replace my GPU, it's currently a Radeon RX 550, I'm thinking about the GTX 1070 ITX.

[JoeyStrickGaming]

But I only have a 300w PSU right now

[Firewrath9]

thats not a really good psu...
 

 

can you take a picture of the inside of the case?

[JoeyStrickGaming]

Well, that's not really important if this isn't a great PSu, if you could give me a good PSU, or an answer to my question?

[JoeyStrickGaming]

This is an image I found on Google Images. This is the same exact case.

The 650 watt VS unit you posted is bad, but the CX line is much higher quality, so a 650 watt CX power supply would be good. You won't need more that the 550W for an i5 and a 1070.

[JoeyStrickGaming]

I mean the one you posted was a 550w, is the 650w variation of the one you posted good.

Why do you want a 650W PSU to power a 250W PC?

[JoeyStrickGaming]

I use a Ryzen 7 1700 btw.

[JoeyStrickGaming]

I said I'm upgrading

 

[JoeyStrickGaming]

a Ryaen 7 1700 and a GTX 1070 will need more than a 300w PSU

No. A Ryzen 1700 and a 1070 will draw about 250W under load.

Ok if you use a ryzen 7 no problem. The 550 watt will still be fine, but the 650 watt will be of the same quality. As long as you don't go with the bottom of the barrel VS series, you're good.

And with a 1080p monitor, RGB Keyboard and mouse? Either way, I'm not going to take the risk of it shutting or damaging anything.

Ite, thx @fasauceome

You will be fine with the 550W, even for all of these things. Maybe the extra 10 or so dollars will be worth the peace of mind, so why not go for the 650 then. Up to you.

Dude, you should check if the PSU is ATX Compatible. That Picture you posted doesn't look like it is.

Second, where do you live, what's available?

 

Third, 650W is bullshit, if we ain't talking about a HEDT System, wich you don't have with a Highest End GPU, wich you don't have.

So a high quality 400-450W is all you need and want, not an "Overwattage" thing that gives you shit.

 

You wanted that 650W Thing for 54 USD?

 

How about this higher quality one for 60??

And yo do not need more Watt!

First pic does look like ATX to me, just a little tight fit. But still, you're right, OP should post a pic of the PSU model or some more comprehensive pics to be sure.

The monitor doesn't draw power from your PSU (it draws power from your wall... is that not obvious enough...?) and the keyboard on it's own, if it uses two USB plugs like I would imagine it does, then it can use a maximum of 10 watts, because USB 3.0 allows for a max of 5W of power draw. 5W for the mouse too. 

 

Here's my heavily OC'd GTX 970 and moderately OC'd 1700X hitting 330W of power draw under load, if you want the TL;DR.
