But it should still fit the 650. Without the blu-ray drive, I'd recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...therboards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...s-Desktops Much better for Dolphin. And a bit more energy efficient. 10-18-2012, 02:14 PM

It would be less of an issue by far, but you pay more, especially considering that you have to purchase a PSU with it.
What I meant by that is that you want to have a fan or something blowing on it. I.E: an external cooling source or well ventilated area. 10-18-2012, 02:25 PM

Yes, the one in the Rosewill case would be pushing things a bit. If that makes you uncomfortable, try a 7750. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814202002 Keep in mind that 400w is usually reserved for things that max out the GPU, such as PC games. Regular use should see much less power consumption. 10-18-2012, 02:31 PM

Not unless you had a 100w or higher quad core. (Like a Phenom 2 or I5.) Keep in mind that when I say high temps, I mean "should not exceed 60 degrees celsius". 10-18-2012, 02:37 PM
