Mini-ITX PSU question

[jm240]

Hi All,

I notice that mini-ITX cases all seem to come with PSU's but they are very low in terms of watts.

I see a Zotac H55 Socket 1156 motherboard of ITX form factor which reckons it has PCI-Express socket for those who want to throw in a GPU but GPU's need a lot of PSU power so what gives?

I don't see any mini-ITX PSU's for sale either, you seem to have to stick with what comes in the case...

What's the standard for a proper GFX?

Well number one most important characteristic when defining: "Proper GFX" is a standalone Graphics card, nothing on-board and built in!

So if it's bought separate to the motherboard and has around 512mb + memory on the card purely dedicated for graphics processing then you have "proper graphics"
