Will 60 watts be enough for the next configuration?

Guys, hello everyone!
I build my own htpc at home.
For a long time I was looking for a case: to be coolerless and with a low-power PSU and hold 3.5 HDDs, since I already have one rather large one (I don’t want an external one, I want it to be all-in-one).
As a result, I found: Morex Cubid 577B with a 60-watt external PSU. Seems like the perfect solution.
The motherboard will be asus e45m1-i deluxe .
A hard drive, of course, and a couple of slats of RAM.
Now I am tormented by doubts about whether there is enough power for all this.
Each stick of RAM consumes 5 watts . Hard drive 3.5 inches - 12 .
AMD E-450 (brazos) at its peak asks for 18 watts .
Total we get 5 + 5 + 12 + 18 = 40 .
Will the remaining twenty watts be enough for everything else that is in the motherboard, including Wi-Fi and so on?
Can you recommend something else?

pull - and their cases are gorgeous, only rarely where you can find in normal stores. But if suddenly not, and you need this case, then the power supply unit will save you from the laptop

I think it's still enough. Chic htpc turns out.
I also thought about similar options for a long time, but I got tired of buying a nettop.

At one time I tried to assemble something similar on Atome with approximately the same configuration, also with a built-in video camera, but the result disappointed me. Full HD with a good stream twitched. I generally keep quiet about 3D SBS, I wanted to cry.

I would advise this one, but there for a 2.5 "screw: www.ulmart.ru/goods/250242/

I think the stock will be huge. Memory sticks of 5 watts are unlikely to consume, rather 1-2, a 12 watt hard drive only at startup and wild reading / writing, in normal mode the same watt or two. The processor will wait like this only at full load at the same time on the video and the processor itself.
For comparison, a laptop with a core i5 processor, TDP = 35 watts, 8 GB of memory, an nvs5100 video with a gig of video memory and an on-screen screen eats from an outlet from 11 to 18 watts in idle time, while playing video - about 25. And this is not some kind of brazos, a full-fledged computer, and given the fact that this is still the first generation of i5 core

and if you look from ready-made, but expensive, then you can choose these:
the first with a passive S.O.
the second with active S.O.
you just need to take into account that you need to buy your own HDD

Didn't find what you were looking for?
