Hello! I'm wondering if the PSU that I'm looking at will fit both my old motherboard and the new one that I plan to get when I can afford to upgrade the CPU and Motherboard at the same time. Only problem right now is the I took the motherboard and components out of my old Inspiron 570 with an AMD Athlon II x4 and didn't foresee this issue. So I have no idea what motherboard this is, only that it supports said processor.

So I wanted to know if there is anyway that this PSU:

Will fit both the old motherboard, and this new motherboard:

If not, any suggestions on what would?

Hi

Most modern motherboards use a 24pin connector and a ATX 12V connector

most PSU will have a 4+4 ATX 12V connector so can connect to a motherboard with 4 or 8 pin ATX 12V

Some PSU have a 20+4 motherboard connector for old Motherboards, some do not so check the main power socket on the old board to see if it is 20 or 24 pin (this changed about 10 years ago)

see this wiki for details

The Dell Inspiron 560/570 Mini Tower and the H87-G43 can use most standard OEM sized ATX power supply units, with either a 24-pin or 20+4-pin main motherboard power connector.

5.5" x 5.9" x 3.4"

Here is a better choice.
