How do I know if my motherboard is compatible with my PSU?

Barisk · Aug 13, 2015

Hi everyone, for the past few weeks i have been trying to build my own PC, although i didn't seem to find anywhere on the internet which PSU was compatible with my motherboard and if the cord would be long enough.

Here are my PC Specs

Case
Thermaltake Element S VK6000 Series

Motherboard
870 Extreme3 ASROCK

Cpu
AMD x4 ii

Can anyone help me asap?

The connectors coming from the PSU are standardized as are the ones on the motherboard, this article may help explain http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html along with this one http://www.pcworld.com/article/254998/motherboard_port_guide_solving_your_connector_mystery.html although it doesn't go into power connectors too much.

I'd be inclined to recommend looking at SeaSonic PSU's in the 400W-500W range (500W would provide headroom for a graphics card to be added later if wanted)
