Lets say for A8-3650 or ion 2100. (with 32gb ssd, 4gb, no drive, no video card) will 90W be enough? ....or 120w

i'd never use a PSU that has less Watts then the CPU it powers....
get a quad-core with 65W TDP like the A8-3800 or A6-3600

I use a PICO-90 with an i3-2100T, powered by solar.
Works perfectly.

I running two systems with a picoPSU-90 and 72W AC adapter. One is a i3-2100 with 1 SSD, 1 2.5" HDD and ODD. The other is a G620 with the same. I have a picoPSU 120 with 60W AC adapter running an H55/i3-540 with 750GB WD Green drive and ODD. I've never seen any of them go over 50W measure via Kill-A-Watt.
