Is this PSU OK for an i7 2600k build?

Hi all,
I am about to build two render nodes (mini ITX motherboards, i7 2600k CPUs, integrated graphics, 4-8 GB RAM each) and my aim is to keep everything as small as possible. For that reason I am looking for a small form factor PSU and was wondering if the one from the link bellow will be compatible with the motherboard and CPU.
1. Motherboard- Intel DH67CF
2. CPU- i7 2600k
3. PSU- Seasonic SS-250SU F0 slim Psu

My biggest concern is that the PSU has 1U form factor and I am not sure if it is suitable for that kind of configurations in terms of connectors. The Wattage requirements for the render node is not an issue- I can find it with an on-line calculator.
Thanks a million guys.
Julian.

  • One mainboard cable with a 20+4-pin connector (35 cm)
  • One CPU cable with a 4-pin connector (38 cm)
  • One cable with two PATA power connectors (38+15 cm)
  • One cable with one PATA and one floppy-drive connector (32+15 cm)
It has the necessary motherboard and CPU power connectors, but no SATA connectors for drives. Would have to use molex->sata adapters.

You can also get a Mini-ITX case that fits a standard ATX power supply.

Awesome, thanks for the help and the link, lehtv.
I don't want to use standard ATX power supply due to its size- I know it's not a big difference but still...
Again- many thanks and all the best.
