Will a XFX 650watt PSU fit in a BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX?

That case should take a normal ATX PSU no problem. You may want to consider a modular PSU though for easier cable management.

i don't know anything about that case but having owned that PSU previously, it's the most massive tangle of wires i've ever seen. you get a lot of cable.

(or it could be normal - i haven't owned many decent PSUs

)

I could just hide most of the cables. It doesn't matter really. The case will be closed anyways.

I just did a build in a little prodigy and used a power cool 750w and it was a good fit, you will be safe I think building it with the xfx one

do you already own the psu if not there is a perfect modular one i just bought from silverstone its 140mm deep so theres still plenty of room

sorry to highjack, but is there a perfect PSU that fits into this case? needs to support 680 GTX so its going to need a bit of power behind it. Modular would be nice but not a must. A must is, that it fits comfortably inside the BitFenix Prodigy

The XFX 650 would be fine with a GTX 680.

I didn't use the XFX 650 in the Prodigy. I bought the Corsair Builder Series CX 500w Modular PSU and it works great. Very happy with it so far. I have heard some people having issues with these Builder Series PSU's. Working fine. If it does go I'll just RMA it

This case was a joy to build with. It only took me over a hour to build it, but boy was it fun.

I used a Corsair TX750m. Its semi modular and all the attached cables are used. It fits really well.
