I'm rebuilding a nettop I use for streaming music to a stereo in my weigh room.

I plan on buying the LIAN LI PC-T1 soon

Well, the case I had had a built in 120w PSU. I can't use it. I need a standard ATX.

I'm running a D525 intel ATOM, a 7200 rpm hdd, and one usb device.

Can anyone give me a good idea of what to buy?
 
Corsair PSUs have excellent reliability and low noise. If you don't need modular cables, the CX-430 (corsairs entry level PSU) will do fine for a low wattage system like the one you are building.

If you want modular cables the HX-650 is the lowest one they make (probably overkill in terms of wattage, but a nice stable PSU none-the-less)

Since I posted this morning, I've made a stupid descision. I always do this to myself, lol :p

I'm going to sell or convert the atom and go ga-h55n-usb3 & i3 550 (found a good deal on the mobo & cpu).

The seasonic PSUs are nice, but I can't justify $100+ on a PSU for the useage.

The corsair CX-430 is perfect, Added to cart! :D

Thanks guys!

Edit: Decided not to go i3 as its just overkill. I'll stick w/ the atom for now. I'm still getting the corsair! Thanks again.
