Will a 60W DC PSU be enough for:

Athlon X2 5050e
MINIX-780G-SP128MB
4GB SODIMM DDR2 800MHz
128GB Transcend SSD

Thanks.
 
I would get the 125w version (M3-ATX). No such thing as overkill though.
 
Would 90W be enough since I can find a case with int. 90W PSU? How about 80W?

The setup will be used in a car later so I will buy another PSU then but for now I'll be using it indoor with the internal PSU.
 
80 or 90w would be cutting it very close. Under load, the power supply usage would be ~100%. You really don't want that.
 
That's not going to work very well. The heatsink that comes with it is only designed for a few VIA boards and your system will overheat rather quickly with no airflow since you would have to use a different cooler.
 
Yeah, I'm going to use Silverstone NT07 for the heatsink. I would drill a few holes to get some airflow.
 
The HDD and DVD drive connections are designed to plug directly into the via board... I'm not sure it'll take a non-via board so well.
