I built a PC for office use and want to also use it for gaming at home. The idea came when I saw the S4 Mini on Youtube and realized that the case is compact enough to conveniently transport a powerful PC.
I have the S4 on pre-order and I'm using the PC now in a Fractal Nano S.
My question is what PSU will I need to run my PC in the S4? Components are:
Asus Z270I ROG STRIX
16GB DDR4
7700K Kaby Lake
EVGA 1060 3GB SC - on order
(1) 2.5 SSD
(1) 2.5 HD
(1) Nactua NH-L9i - will replace current cooler
(1)Scythe 120mm thin fan - to add some additional cooling over motherboard

Ideally I would like to have the AC-DC converter internal but this is probably asking a lot. I would also like to run a slight overclock on the CPU, but again, this may be asking too much. I will do a de-lid on the CPU to help before I try. Is there any chance the 160watt PICO could run this coupled with a 330watt brick? What do you think is the best option?
Thanks, Aaron

357 watts sounds kind of high. I guess I'm going to have to go with the 330w Dell brick and the 400w DC-DC converter. Any thoughts?
