Thanks for your reply. I appreciate another viewpoint! I didn't think about testing the build with another PSU until after I returned the CPU. Now I am CPU-less and cannot do that test.Yep, it's the same $12 PSU in the OP; Delta DPS-350AB-12A/Intel FHJT350HEPS 350W Power Supply It's a server PSU and not designed for home computers. I like the small dimensions that fit in a case designed for a FLEX Power supply.Dimensions: LxWxH 15x8x4cm, 150x60x40mm, (6" x 2.5" x 1.5" - approximate inches)IF using a proper quality PSU means a bigger PSU (even slightly bigger) then I don't have room in this case (see one of my previous images below). My main goal for this APU build is using two NVMe 4.0 Gen4 PCIe M.2 2280 drives for image backup/restore. I can get that with 65W-TDP or 125W TDP. So I am going to stick with the plan for switching to a 65W TDP CPU.
