i was looking at some slim cases for a sff build, not for gaming, just web browsing and stuff like that, and was wondering about this:

now, its a cheap case, i know that, but it will do for what the computer needs to do. what i was wondering is if the power supply can be changed. i tried looking but there were no threads on the specifics. i know it isnt a normal atx psu, and that the one that somes with it is garbage. id rather buy a new 80+ rated one instead, but if the psu is made just for that case would it suffice? this is my build right now without the psu,

there aren't gonna be 2 hard drives, if the budget allows it then im going with the ssd, i have an external 1tb hard drive if i really need it, right now im using 80gb though so i dont think i will

any help would be great, and any suggestions are gladly recieved

edit- and the budget is about 400, without operating system and peripherals

It looks like an SFX power supply. You can get those upto about 450 watts if needed(they even have a 80 Plus Gold one with modular cables). I have seen higher, but do not trust the brands.

I have a 300 watt sfx(SilverStone/FSP) that has been on for almost 4 years in a row without issues.

The system has a gigabyte H55n USB 3 itx board i5 750, gtx 650 ti, 3tb 3.5 inch drive(WDC Red) 1tb drive(WDC Scorpio Blue) and small 128gigabyte M4 SSD. It has worked quite well and system power draw has never passed 180 watts at the wall.

I do not think so. they are smaller than normal atx.

Heck you can tuck the extra cables away in the case with a non modular unit anyway.
