Hello all,

I have recently upgraded my pc and i was wondering which PSU should i buy for my rig, any advice would be appreciated.

Current components:

Intel DH67BL Motherboard
Intel Core i5-2300 @ 2.80 ghz (No OC)
Kingston valueRAM DDR3 4gb x2
ASUS ENGTX460 1gb DIRECTCU
500gb western digital SATA
CoolerMaster 550w Extreme Power Plus
LG RW DVD rom

Yes maybe due to the shortage of power i am getting random restarts when the pc is at full or almost full load.

Thanks.
 
Need a reason to stay away from that PSU..!!

Btw the 32A available on two 12V rails put out a total power of 384W.. That's definitely not 550W (not even close).. Considering a maximum power draw of 300W on full load, my recommendation is to get something like the one linked above by jbakerlent..
