Hello,
I have the intention of replacing my PSU and I was settled to replace it with a 550w one instead of the 650w I currently have, when I contacted a shop about it they recommended I would get a 600w minimum even though I don't think I'll need that much and since I'll need to pay extra I have to feel sure now.
My Setup:
Oh and the PSU I was gonna replace mine with was the Corsair CX-550W.
I have my setup for 7 years now and I would like it to last a few more till I totally buy a new setup, I've had problems with it that seem to be aiming for a faulty PSU since if my PC shutdowns and I switch the PSU off and on it will not give power to my PC, I either have to wait a long time or get lucky that it gives power, I've had random freezing when doing gaming which forces me to force shutdown my PC etc, problems kept happening till one day it won't power my PC anymore, according to some crash dumps a dev had from Blizzard I had crashes on it due to 'insufficient voltage to the GPU'.. Etc, anyways this is why I am replacing the PSU, really hope it isnt a GPU or Motherboard problem x_x
