How to Know if the PSU Will Fit in My PC Case?

Gaurav_40 · May 4, 2017

hi, my name is gaurav and i wanted to know that if the PSU will fit in my case? i'm first time builder and i know everything about compatibility and performance terms but i am unable to know if the parts will fit in real world. it's a budget build so here are my specs:

Processor: Pentium g4560 3.5 GHz
Ram: HyperX Fury 8 GB 2133MHz (1x8)
Motherboard: MSI h110m-pro vh matx
Graphics: Asus Strix GTX 1060 6GB
PSU: Corsair VS550
Case: Corsair SPEC-01

so as you can see it's under $500 build so i can't afford to return the parts and buy a new one. i want to make sure that everything is good and will work properly. it would be good if you can recommend a better PSU in this price range, (sorry for my bad English) thanks for reading my thread and please reply.

Yes, it's a standard PSU, and you are getting a mid-size case (normal).. no problem.
You may want to reconsider that PSU tho, it is of low quality. You should be able to find something better for the same price. Refer to this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Thanks for responding, after reading a few reviews of the corsair VS i switched it to the Antec VP 500PC Power Supply.
Antec is a good name is PSU. and i trust them. but i just want to make sure if it's good quality or i am going to die with pc when i turn on the pc? and if not then is it good enough to keep my PC safe during intensive gaming hours and max parformance. for the same rig?

The Antec is a 'Tier 3" PSU according to the list I linked.
It's better than the Corsair and should be okay with the specs you listed.

you'll have to change that motherboard for a b250 . it won't work out of the box with a 7th gen cpu and will require a bios update which can only be done using a 6th gen cpu .

hello.. i need an help from you regarding the pc you were talking about that contains an Antec vp 500pc... i am going to buy an ups for that psu.. but many forums are stating that it will not work only with a pure sine wave ups which are too expensive in my country... instead i was thinking of buying the stepped sine wave ups that are lot cheaper like the apc ones... can u please tell me what are your suggestions according to your build and what UPS have you used in the build??
