As the topic asks. I've got a Jeantech Micro Titan mATX case with a 300w psu at the moment, its a tight fit . Im gonna be gettin a GPU soon and Im obviously gonna need more power. So will and ATX psu fit comfortably in the space provided? I ask because im having some difficulty finding a mATX psu higher than 350w

Bump. Anyone with a clear answer??

EDIT: Also does anyone know why non ECC ram is so much cheaper than ECC ram, should I risk it to save money?

Get the measures of the current PSU and compare them to the PSU you want to buy. That will tell you whether it'll fit or not.

ECC RAM is mainly used in servers because of the error checking properties.

Dodgy RAM doesn't fry anything, it normally either crashes the PC and doesn't work at all. Go with a decent brand like Corsair, Crucial etc not some unbranded PC World special.

PC World like making money just like every other shop does. A lot of the people in PC World know about nothing (no offense to anyone who works at PC World and knows what there're doing).

Is only smaller in high but that is not important for PSU
