You not tell us what CPU, what memory, what GPU,  how many USB, how many fan.

So here, you use this and you see if it's enough. If you can't then post back all the info.

As said above,  we would need a list of all the components in the PC that this board will be used in to answer your question. It is not the board that matters, but all the other parts. What the PC would be used for is also important.

Regardless, the answer to your question is most likely no. That power supply is 150W maximum, with only 120W maximum from the +12V rail.

If you only used the integrated graphics on the CPU with all the power saving options enabled, and had at most two HDDs or a SSD and HDD, and only a few low power fans in the PC case for cooling, that PSU would be enough some of the time. But any stress on the system would overload that PSU.

I would never feel safe using a low power PSU like that on any desktop PC.
