I'm seriously considering this instead of the Seasonic SS-400ET 400W for the ASRock A75M FM1 AMD A75 MOBO. My only question is in regard to a SSD and Blu-ray. It appears you're using the Molex-to-P4 adapter to complete the 24-pin ATX connection as the main connector is only 20-pin, right? There is a single SATA power connector, which would be used for the SSD. What about the Blu-ray drive? Sorry if it's an obvious question.

your PSU kit will be limited to the weakest link.
so your correct, a picoPSU-160-XT + 192W Adapter Power Kit
is considered a 160W PSU overall

What about the large hole for the standard PSU that's left over? Can it just be left, or should it be blanked off?

u can use an old non-working PSU, dismantle it
and cut on its backplate to cover the big hole,
but u still need to drill a hole in it.
