PSU

[arjalona]

Hello,
Hello,
I just bought a Zotak amp Gtx 550 ti card...
About 3 days after installation my pc just turned off while playing ac3....

My psu was an old 450w....
I guess the psu failed and i want to buy a new psu.....

any suggestions as to what i can buy?
and am planning on getting a coolermaster (http://www.deltapage.com/products/Cooler-Master-PSU(SMPS)-Extreme-Power-Series-500.html)

is 500w enuf ? and is that psu good ?

cooler master silen pro is good but now other units.better buy a xfx pro 550w.it's more than enough and is reasonably priced-

Rosewill Hive series is pretty good too on a budget. ( this is a 650W unit, as an example )
Rosewill Hive 650W $79.99 ( before 10% off promocode )

However the 550W and 650W XFX Pro's are probably your best bet.

is this the same as the one on newegg ?

@rvilkman,good call but 550ti needs no more than a 500w~.xfx pro is made by seasonic and is enough for his setup.
