    The OEM PSU’s for the Aspire X3-100 are as listed below and are of a 220W type and have an ATX 24 pin connector to the mobo, you can use a 24 pin connector type ATX type PSU of a higher Wattage but you won't be able to install it into the case, see if you can get these slim type PSU's as there are allot for sale from different manufacturers or on ebay like here “Power Supply Unit 220W Acer Veriton Acer Aspire Barebone Series (See Models)”

    thank you for your response,  i do not require it to be in the case currently.  i plan on buying a micro ATX case after and putting it all together.

    Yes I know that, so have a look at this article of “Best SFX PSU or Power Supply for Mini ITX and SFF Cases in 2021” or you can fit the full size ATX PSU’s of your budget.
