Hi,

What power supply would you recommend for this build?

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI B75MA-P45 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage: Samsung Spinpoint F1 DT 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card
Case: BitFenix Prodigy M Midnight MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

As you can see the case is quite small so I may need a small PSU?

Thanks

Just curious, why are you getting such a small case? Are you sure your GPU/Cooler will fit in there? Plus the airflow won't nearly be as good as an ATX. I know ATX boards are more expensive, but you get a lot of benefits, especially when it comes to upgrading.

If you decide to go ATX, this is the PSU I would go for:

Enough power to give you some overhead and the efficiency to keep your computer running clean. (It's expensive, by why would you want to skimp on a PSU when you have such nice hardware :))?
