OKIA 600 Watts

[shanyin]

Hi I have an OKIA 600 WATT power supply. The reason I am asking is that I don't want my computer to fail and possibly fry. The model just says OKIA 600 (600W MAX)

-OKIA 600 WATT (MAX)
-GTX 960 4GB Gigabyte
-core i5 750 intel
-12 GB RAM
-500 GB Harddrive
-WIndows 10

I don't want my computer to fail and possibly fry.

Then I suggest replacing that PSU asap.

Okai is listed as a tier five not good for even using as a door stop.

OK so I bought a "Retail plus+" 600W power supply at staples.

Did I just from a frying pan into a fire? lol. I'm a complsive shopper. I could take it back and order an EVGA if I wanted to.

Take it back. There's a 430w Seasonic on sale at Newegg for $40.

Is corsair or Seasonic a better PSU than EVGA?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Seasonic is one of the best on the market , but the new CX450M , CX550M and CX650M are very good.

The EVGA 500B should be avoided.

Evga has some really good power supplies but their 500w units are not in that category, they are among the worst Evga units, it's easily better than what you have now but since you are going to be buying a new unit I suggest spending your money on a better unit. The CX450M is a good option aswell as the 550w version if you want room for future upgrades.

How much power is my PC putting out? How many watts do I need? I'll probably order the corsair 450w but I just want to be sure. Is this it?

is that the one you mean?

Thank you for your generous help I have learned alot and appreciate it.

Your entire PC will pull 250-300w under load. Yes, that is the correct Corsair CXM.
