Looking for cheap PSU for gaming

[yourtarget]

Hi all,

I am on the hunt for a cheapish (under 200NZD) PSU for gaming. Mainly just WOW.

Thanks.

The Corsair CSM 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply should be just fine. 130NZD

Also forgot to mention it has to power three monitors aswell

The PSU doesn't power your monitors.

Also, for what it's worth, I strongly discourage trying to save money on a PSU. If you buy a bad PSU and it fails catastrophically enough, it can fry every single device in your computer. Whereas if you get a good PSU, you can use it for... what, a decade. EVGA has some units made by Super Flower that are warrantied for 7 and 10 years. And that's just the warranty, you'll likely be able to get several years of use outside of the warranty period, as well. There might be a price premium associated with these top-tier units, but it's certainly a savings when you consider that you can use that PSU for so, so many more years than lesser PSUs.

For what it's worth, to even start to suggest a PSU, we need to know what hardware it has to power....saying a ACME 500 is fine and dandy, but won't do you any good if your rig needs a 750 watt PSU

^This. Without specs, we cannot really help you very much. Anything we choose could be way underpowered, or more than you really need.
