Gigabyte H55N-USB3 - Big Features, Small Package

Some might say that "bigger is better", but when it comes to today's PCs, that doesn't have to be the case. Rather, you can easily build a feature-rich and high-performance PC that can be entirely hidden from view. Mini-ITX motherboards exist to help with that, and where those are concerned, Gigabyte's H55N-USB3 is well-worth a look.

your use of 1000w psu is doubling power consuption due to high inefficiency at low loads. use a 80+ gold 500w or less psu and your draw will be about 30w.
