Hey Guys :)

I was wondering if I could get some advice on a Case+PSU combo that I'm looking at.

What I'm looking at getting is this:
Gigabyte GZM1 Chassis 320W PSU

I saw on Mitabyte's store that they do stock this case as well but without the PSU, also they state on their website (Mitabyte) that it supports AMD Dual Core processors but I have a Quad Core.

Will this be compatible with my setup?
CPU: AMD Kaveri A8-7600
MB: MSI A78M-E35
RAM: Corsair Vengeance
HDD: WD Caviar Blue

Also if suggest if I should make the PSU and Case separate, and not a combined item like the Gigabyte. Looking at R800 max.

Thanks in advance!

Gigabyte GZM1 - Micro ATX
MSI A78M-E35 - Micro ATX

So the mobo will fit in the case.


AMD Kaveri A8-7600
- 65W TDP
I doubt the rest of the system components (mobo, ram, hdd) would push the power consumption much over 100W total for the system as a whole so the 320W PSU included with the case is adequate.

BUT, these bundled PSU units are usually not that great quality & does not leave with the option of future expansion should you decide to pop in a dedicated GPU somewhere down the line.

Thanks for the heads up Ponder. Really appreciate it. Will definitely look at getting separate components then.
