I am currently working on building a PC and need a power supply. My motherboard is a microATX with 24 pin and 8-pin power supply connections. I am using a microATX case that I had before (not bought for this project but still fits all components except for power supply). I have not found a power supply that will fit in my case and also accommodate the 24+8 pin connections on my motherboard, in addition to my (approximately) 350-watt requirement. I am thinking about using a larger (physically) ATX power supply outside of the case, but need to know if there are any special accommodations I need to make (e.g. special housing, additional fans, etc.). I would also like to know how much wattage the PSU can supply before causing damage to my system or causing low power draw and not turning on the PSU.
Thanks in advance.
