Can anyone suggest a power supply with at least 300W that will fit the X4620G model? I purchased a pair of ultra wide monitors that the video card can't support. Most any card that I found that can requires a 300W power supply but finding one that fits has proven to be a challenge.

    Hopefully someone can help you find a power supply.  I looked but couldn't find one.

     

    If all else fails, you might have to find a different case (that will work) and use a "normal" power supply.  That may be trickier than it sounds.  Not sure.

     

    There's hundreds (thousands) of different cases.  I don't know which one would be best.

    The guy in the link below gave up and bought a case that came with a power supply.  Although I don't think I would have done that.  I probably would have just bought a case and a  power supply seperately.

    You have to make sure the case will fit all your stuff......card reader, DVD.....etc.....if you decide to go that route.

     

    Good luck.

    Everything was migrated over from the old case to the new one. Note: These motherboards are a little hard to find documentation for so take good notes on where everything goes!

     

    New GeForce GTX 970 video card was installed. This was a tight fit. The card comes down right over the pins for the led's, power switch, etc. The cord for the front USB ports is right there and routing the cable for the HD AUDIO was tight as well.

     

    All said and done, the monitors all have their proper resolution, I have a 500 W power supply and a nice video card all tucked in an ELITE 431 Mid Tower case.

    Excellent.  I know what you mean about putting things back together.  I've resorted to taking pictures and video in some cases when I have electronics/gadgets torn apart. 

     

    It's a good idea to monitor your CPU temps and make sure everything is ok for a few days.  Sometimes you have to re-apply thermal paste when moving things around.
