|
|
So I was about to get a new gpu when I found out my psu is only 150 watts.
So, to get a 500 watt psu, what am I looking at?
$50?
I know nothing of psu's so what specs do I look for?
Links to good examples?
Thanks.
edit:
I'm desperate here because I need to upgrade TODAY, will any 550+ watt work?
Newegg has a $17 550 watt psu and I'm worried because that's just so cheap, do I need to worry about compatibility? |

I have a Phenom II x4 if that makes a difference, any way I can compromise for ~$50? $60 maybe? |

What do you have to recommend about it? That it works and hasn't exploded? Neither will the other one. _________________
