I'm thinking of purchasing an AMD x2 4200+ with a 7600GT and using a $20CAN power supply.
$19 400W ATX12V PS w/+12VDC 4pin Connector
I have owned computers for 4+ years that I used heavily on cheap no-name PSU with no problems at all. I don't see why new CPU's are any different. With computers, I figure if it lasts for a year, it will last a lifetime. That has been my experience anyway. If the computer is bound to blow up, the likely hood will be in the first months of use. If it happens after two years, the PSU was most likely defective. The likelihood of PSU being defective for any brand is slim to none. Are those thoughts flawed?
As well, how can the psu mess up the whole system?
Some factual data on these topics would be appreciated.
