Hi Everybody
I have an HP Slimline S5-1020 (specs) (motherboard specs)
I wish to upgrade my stock 220w PSU to a 400w PSU. After contacting HP customer support by email, asking them which specs I should look for in a PSU upgrade, I received a quick and helpful reply telling me that I have to look for a "Micro-atx" type PSU.
Is that all I have to worry about?
With that information I looked for a Micro-ATX and found this one: Apollo 400
If I buy this, will it fit into my computer and be compatible with all of my hardware?
Also, If this isn't a good PSU to buy, which do you recommend with a budget of $100?
I want to upgrade the PSU to be able to handle a low-profile video card comfortably.
This will be my first hardware upgrade and makes me kind of nervous, I just want it to go without any problems.
I already knew my slimline would have limited options in terms of customization, but I think that this isn't too out of the question.
Thank You
