What do you mean until it dies? You mean it will suddenly stop working and damage my GPU and CPU? And what kind of power supply should I get then?

 

[bmockeg]

Its a cheap Chinese one so....

Seasonic Focus, EVGA supernova or Corsair TX series

Silverstone makes decent PSUs. This one is fine. No need to panic. Keep on using it to your heart's content.

This is painfully incorrect. This is a good product.

I appreciate all opinions,so keep them coming because I'd rather keep this power supply because I am on a budget and the MSI gtx 1060 gaming x 6gb is a pretty good card. Please post more opinions if you have knowledge.

You don't need to worry about that PSU. It is a good product. Seriously, the previous advice was simply misinformed.

Its a tier 6 but if u say so

If your only reference to how good a psu is involves a flawed tier list you should not be giving advice on the subject.

There are certainly better products on the market, but this one is fine for the majority of users. It will not burn down the OP's house or take out the rest of his rig in a blaze, zap, or sizzle of glory.

It is good enough to not (needlessly) be replaced for no other reason.

Well... it still can. It's just not as likely as most other PSUs on the market.

True that.

So basically I can keep this PSU,but I will probably upgrade my PSU in a few months and ask you what PSU would be perfect. Thanks for your advice folks.

Future upgrade, look at Seasonic Focus, or Evga G2/G3. What you have is far better than many I see around here. It's no system killer.

Thank you for your comment. Yes I will most certanily buy a new PSU,but just not now because it isn't urgent.

Good decision. Have fun!

Strangely enough, about an hour or so after my last reply here, my main computer crapped out on me. If I had to guess, my first suspicion would be my eight or nine year old Antec Earthwatts 430 power supply. I've been meaning to upgrade that system anyway.

Fortunately, the house didn't burn down.

That PSU isn't that bad really so it won't burn your house down.

You kept it longer than I would have however.
