Question about Motherboard and PSU compatibility

champion.of.your.nan · May 27, 2018

I'm worried about my Motherboard being not compatible with the PSU that I wish to buy to replace my old and clunky one.

The new PSU is an EVGA 450 BT 80+ Bronze rated modular unit and I've found it to be my current best choice (I guess?) for a GTX 750 Ti to which I will be upgrading to.

I have a P5G41T-M LX3 Motherboard and a Codegen 400X PSU which works fine right now, my question is will the new PSU be compatible with the Mobo in terms of connectors (the standard 24-pin, 8-pin etc. and all that, since I searched up on compatibility between this Mobo ; PSU and nothing popped up.

PSU (The one I want to buy):

Current Motherboard:

Are some wires different / missing in the BT model? I'm really bad and just starting out with PC parts so bare with me lmao
If you have any better suggestions for the same price (Not willing to go over 50 Euros, I'm already squeezing the super low budget with this) then please list them (In Euros, I'm from Lithuania)

For any aftermarket motherboard all you need is the 20+4 connector and a 4+4 EPS. That's it. Some older mobo's only used the 20, not the +4, and some lower/mid grade mobo's only need the 4 not the +4 EPS. If you had a Lenovo motherboard or a few others, it'd be a different story, especially the small form factor stuff. But if your case mounts a full size ATX psu, I can't see any issue.

Thanks so much, I guess.
I'll try my chances with the PSU.
