Hello all. I have just ordered the parts for my super media center / lan box but I didn't stop to think about the PSU and wether it can handle all the components.

Anyway this is what my build will be:
Case = Silverstone SG05
CPU = E8600 3.33 C2D <-- running at stock
MOBO = Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi
GFX = ATI 4850
HDD 1 (system) = 500GB Segate 2.5inch Drive
HDD 2 (Data) = 1TB W.D. Green label
.....
PSU = stock 300W! (80 Plus certified SFX 300W power supply included)

Do you think the psu will be able to handle the load? Its primary use will be a media center / file server (it will be on basicly 24/7) but it also will act as a mobile gaming computer (when I go on long trips and such).....

It would be a shame for Silverstone to advertise the case as a SFF case with extended gfx support but ship it with a PSU that wont meet the requirements.

Thank you for your time.
 
Yes it will do just fine, there are plenty of similar builds on this forum

To the mods: I think there should be an stickied SG05B faq or build list
 
I'm running quad-core too, q9400. I would not recommend quad-core because I think it tends to get hotter. It will run it though and on Newegg, the manufacturer said they were running a q9550.
 
in using a Q8200, but its a little on the hot side, since there are no undervolting options on the zotac board. if it was i could run it on 1.0 V instead of 1,23V and it makes a HUGE difference
