Hi all
I'm building a media server - my case is a fractal design node 304. I plan on installing -
1/m.2 drive for the OS (bought)
2/my existing 4 spinny hdd's which have my media on.
3/ 2x8gb ram (bought)
4/ Intel Core I3-12100 3.30 Ghz (Alder Lake) Socket LGA 1700
would some kind soul recommend for me a psu and cooler for the cpu ? I used a website to calculate the wattage reqs and it came out as 350W so I'm thinking a 550W would be fine ? Fractal design's website says the psu can be atx with max length of 160mm. CPU cooler max height of 165mm. this will be my first SFF build so I just wanted to check.
thank you !
