Hi, i usually don't ask in forums, because chances are 40 people have asked before you, but after trying to find answers for 4 hours, i'm at my wits end, so i have a low profile case with a BTX MOBO (HP 3047h), The computer itself was a refurbished HP 6005 Pro Small Form Factor PC (don't laugh, it was cheap 
)
My next step is a PSU before i upgrade from a Onboard HD4200 GPU (looking at a 2gb Geforce GT 630, which ASUS recomends a 350W or greater PSU, so the dinky 240W wont cut it, the only problem is that the MOBO and the PSU are BTX, which i slightly understand the reasoning for making the computer that way, what i cant understand is why it is so hard to find a higher output BTX PSU, (unless this is the same as a MicroATX, which i suspect but cant verify) Anyways, the main problem is, i'm trying to find a power supply for my system, something over 400W, and it is near impossible... am i missing something, or is this more Proprietary BS from HP with no workaround? I am also working on a small budget, But especially for a PSU i would be willing to spend a little bit extra for quality parts, but trying to keep it under $100
