Well I've been having a right nightmare trying to find a decent PSU to fit my mATX case. I've found a decent compact one: the Nexus Value 430w.
Trouble is I wanna know if it will be powerful enough for my needs. Power calculators say it should be ok but I'd like to get a second opinion from you guys before purchasing.
