Power Supply picoPSU 160W

[Earthman]

Hi, everyone!
I want to build small mini ITX system with 160W picoPSU+192W power brick in Streacom F7C case.

65W CPU - i7 8700
Noctua NH-L9i or alternative
30W GPU - Low Profile GT1030
2*16GB DDR4
1*m2 NVMe SSD
1*80mm fan

+ sometimes 1-2 external USB HDDs.

Most demanding task will be Lightroom and Photoshop.

It will be fine in terms of power and temperatures?
Nvidia recommendation is 300W PSU for GT1030, but I don't understand why, because power consumption is about 30W.
I'm not planing to play with GT1030, but I need it for two 4k displays, and maybe it can give me some benefits in LR/PS with CUDA cores.

It is the picoPSU specifications, but I'm not so good in this details.

It'll be totally fine. I'm personally powering an i5 + gtx 1050ti with it. The brick is rock solid and the pico just passes through the 12v input, so even heavy loads on that rail won't be an issue.

Thx! Awesome news for me!
I will share my final build here

While 180W is in all likelihood more than enough for your needs, I would be careful with buying the PicoPSU you linked the specs of.
It lists a max load of 8A on the 12V rail (8A*12V = 96W). If that rail is fused for that spec you'll have a bad time with it, as a modern pc pulls most of the power from that rail.

It's max constant load.

It's's just what the mosfet is capable of. These things aren't fused that I am aware of.

Can you explain a little bit more? I'm not so good with electrical details.
Also, I'm found this tread on reddit
