It's an older antec case (I think...at least the PSU in it is antec) and the PSU is 300W.

I was wondering what kind of computer i could build around a 300W PSU. It won't be too amazing (obviously) and should only really be good enough to play Call of Duty and Command and Conquer easily. it will probably mostly be used for internet and email, but games will be played on it i guarantee. I'm not trying to run crysis or even BF2142...just something that a 300W PSU will run.


did i mention that it (for some reason) is only a 20-pin connector? i thought this strange as it was made in the past two years. i guess i'll have to find a mobo that'll take that.

i'll research myself of course, but any suggestions are welcome.

well it can be a 24-pin mobo i found an adapter part.

300W isn't going to run Call of Duty 4. At all. Possibly a 5xxx series.might work, but I'm not even sure that will.

Here's a PSU that's a good brand, 500W, $39.99 with rebate and $5 discount too using promo code EMCABBACE.

Then you can run pretty much anything you want :)

Don't build a PC around a PSU, build it around your needs.

PSUs are cheap anyway.

well i just had an old case that happened to have a 300W antec in it...i figured i might be able to reuse it.

but now i'm not sure what to do with it and the case...as it's just taking up space and the case isn't really that good for my needs anyway...

i'll keep it around if my mom ever wants an internet PC...i'll build something cheap around the PSU.
