1. If i buy a Motherboard that is Micro ATX, Do i need to buy a micro ATX powersupply, or do i just look at the Power Pins? (20+4)

2. If I use a pci-e x16 video card, do i need to have a power supply with a pci-e connector?

3. If i buy a budget motherboard (PcChips), and i try to run a very high end game like Crysis, will my motherboard fry or something?

Possible Computer Specifications:

AMD 4200+ AM2 2.2GHZ Dual Core Processor
4GB of Ram
Nvidia 8600GTS 256MB Card
PC Chips Motherboard
480W Power Supply
Will have 3 120mm Fans

If you need any more information please let me know.
 
1. No, unless its a MicroATX Case, Proof? My build, I have a uATX Board, but use a normal PSU and case

2. Not always, but the GPU you chose always requires a PSU connector (8600gts)

3. lol, no, only thing that will is possibly that PSU if its not a brand named one like Raidmax (refer to our PSU Guide)
