Hey guys, we're dealing with a tiny case and a 300W TFX power supply here. Will it be adequate to power this?
  • Core i5-4590s (65w TDP)
  • GTX 1650 Low Profile
  • 16GB DDR3-1333
  • 1TB SSD
  • DVD Drive, Memory Card Reader
This is all on an MSI MicroATX board. I'd underclock the 1650 if need be, since it would possibly be bottlenecked by the CPU anyways, but TFX options are super limited. :(

Edit: I've tried a few PSU calculators. Newegg's says I'll be fine, but CoolerMaster's doesn't, so I'm unsure.

Coolermaster's calculator adds 80 watts for the SSD, which seems a bit odd. In theory it should work if the power supply is of decent quality and can provide the power it claims. Higher quality power supplies can handle power above their rating.
