ATX power supply control interface with a PIC18F1220

Here's a little circuit I've developed to operate an ATX PSU with a single push-button instead of a toggle or slide switch.

The heart of the circuit is a few components including a diode and a transistor.  I'm wanting to power the MCU from the standby 5volt line, can anyone here advise me what current this pin is normally able to source and is it usually held stable or does it power down periodically?

For those who'd like to understand more about the circuit I'm providing a link to my Wix project page: ATX power supply remote start with single push button. | Blokeystuff

    Hi, The circuit can't work as it stands, because there's no ground (or 0V or Vss or whatever it's desired to be called) connection to the ATX connector. You've also got signals going into the bus with…

    Usually the +5VSB pin is capable supply 2 amps os more, check the labet on the PSU.

    Hi, I'm not going to breadboard it; unfortunately, I don't have time for that. If desired, you could simplify the circuit, as shown here. All microcontroller inputs are on the left, and all outputs…

    Apologies all I forgot to add the Vss on the COM line, I'll update it shortly.
