    Mini ITX build

    Hello,

    I'm building a Mini ITX media center using a MSI H61I-E35 Motherboard.
    It has:

    4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM
    Intel G530 Dual Core (2.4Ghz)
    Lite-on iHas DVD burner
    No hard drive but looking for a 1TB HDD (full size, cheaper)

    I have a few questions:
    1. Will a 300W PSU, Mini ATX, Unbranded be OK ?
    2. Can I add a PCI-E LAPTOP wifi card or does it need to be compatible with the board ?
    3. Can I add USB 3.0 via pinouts on the board, I want to replace the standard USB's on the front.

    Motherboard image & details here:

    Cheers !

    1. Depends on where you get it. Check the OEM
    2. Most laptop wifi cards are mSATA. mSATA is basically a SATA connection wired to PCI-e. Not sure if it'll work.
    3. Not sure.
