so its says on PcPartPicker the estimated wattage would be 358 watts would that be bad for a 400 watt power supply? and would this fit on a micro motherboard? the board is a asrock 970m pro 3 null

Question

I would recommend at least a 500 watt power supply. I don't think that it would fit on a micro motherboard.

Walker · Answer

The motherboard should fit the GPU just fine since PCIE slots are standard, there could be clearance issues if you intend to use PCI slots near the PCIE slot since the card could cover it. The biggest concern when buying graphics cards are case size. A good way to make sure this fits your case is to just google the case you have and see what is the maximum size graphics card that fits in it and then check to see if the card you are interested in would fit.

If you already got the 400 watt PSU, I'd say go ahead, if you're planning to buy one, I'd say buy one with at least 20% over the minimum. A good PSU has warranty up to 10 years, you don't want to limit your future changes with a one time purchase that doesn't allow for that.
