Help choosing a PSU

[Beerslayer]

My PSU fried on my prebuilt Asus desktop. I want to replace it with a better pay than the factory one, obviously... Most of the PSUsim seeing have a switch built into them where as mine did not, what difference will this make? Been all over the web trying to answer this basic question

hat difference will this make? nothing peformance wise but your hardware will last longer.
is it worth it ? yes this unit should work for you - seasonic s12ii-

Most OEM's in prebuilts are about:
5.5" x 5.9" x 3.4"

So you want a GOOD POWER SUPPLY with those dimensions.

I guess what I'm asking is if the psu has a power switch built in to it, will it shut off and on by the motherboard or will I have to manually shut it off and on, so I will use the psu switch instead of the tower switch?

You can shut it down with the case power button , and then if you want to you can turn the switch off on the back.

I never do , that's up to you.
