Hi i'm going to buy components to my PC. I have at the moment corsair CX 600 power supply and i want to buy microATX motherboard (gigabyte ga h81m hd3). I read that my power supply is compatible with ATX 12V 2.3 (is it about motherboard?). But i have seen around 20 power supplies and they all are compatible with ATX 12V 2.3 or 2.4. So, can my corsair fit Micro ATX motherboard? thanks for answers

Should be no problem, however it is not recommended to get a Tier 4 PSU.
A Tier 2 is the minimum anyone would recommend, unless you are on an extremely tight budget or have very basic parts.

The CX600 is a bad PSU. You're better off getting at least a Tier 3 PSU. For gaming, though, get a Tier 2 or better PSU.
