I thought they were but now that the PSu came home I read on the side:
"
Includes:
1 Main power ATX 24/20 pin
1 ATX 12V/EPS 12V 4/8 pin
2 PCI-E 6-8 pin
6 Sata 15-pin
3 Molex 4-pin
1 FDD 4 pin

Can you please tell me is the fact it says ATX instead of Micro-ATX is a problem?

On the MOBO description it does not say how many pins it needs for Power, could you please tell me?

So i could understand which cable should be the right one for the mobo.

Thank you.

Correct, isn't a model that requires a PCIe cable.

Though you could get one if you wanted, the PSU you've chosen does support it.

The XFX ProSeries 450W will fully supports the Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3.

- No issue that it is a full sized ATX PSU, that will only matter if you can't fit it inside your case

- The two cabes going right into the motherboard for power are the long 20+4-pin ATX connector (main motherboard power) and the 4+4-pin ATX12V/EPS12V connector in the top left corner (CPU power).

**The XFX 430 also has a 6+2 pin PCIe power cable to support a graphics card. Don't confuse this cable with the 4+4 ATX cable you plug into the top corner of the motherboard!

Yes, that is a mid-tower case. Everything will fit just fine.

The PSU has plenty of MOLEX connectors if you need to attach more fans than your motherboard supports. You'll need a fan molex adapter to power the fan directly from the PSU, and they will run at 100% all the time.
