Hey guys,
I was originally going to go with a lower power i3 3220 for my build, but then I found out a guy which was giving me a crazy price for the FX 6350 so now I want to change me build.
This is the PSU I plan on getting - http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder/thunder-600w/

I know that AMD processors are known to be more power consuming than their Intel counterparts, so keeping in mind that I'm going to be using an R9 270(non x), will a 600w PSU suffice?

Motherboard - https://desertcart.com/products/1221893-asus-m5a78l-m-lx-plus-am3-amd-760g-micro-atx-amd-motherboard

One more question - My cousin's Dell Inspiron 530 (http://www.pcworld.com/product/31068/inspiron-530.html) recently blew(sparks came out of it, components destroyed). He said that I could use his case. Would my components fit and would it be a good idea?
 
Solution
yes more than enough the r9 270 requires 24amp @12+ volt rail and a minimum of 500 watt psu so u will have enough room for overclocking the cpu and the card with 600 watt .....

The motherboard is a micro ATX so doesn't that mean it will fit in all cases?
