How much are you willing to spend.

How much are you willing to spend.

50 to 100 $..just wanted to know if 500w is enough for my system... don't want to spend $ in 700w- 800w if not necessary...

A good 550W would be fine in this system (there are few good PSUs at precisely 500W). You'd have to identify which PSU you were talking about to get detailed feedback. There have been a lot of times in which someone here decided to buy a PSU blind and replaced their junk PSU with another junk PSU.

So from what I've been able to research without pulling it out....it's an apex 500w... which I know is junk....so I wouldn't have a problem replacing with good 550-650w...

Yes it's a steal.

I would get the 650W Super Flower Leadex III:

It gives you at least some headroom for upgrades in the future and it's a good quality PSU.

 

[Vic 40]

The EVGA P2 for $15 less would be my choice every day.

Hey so follow up question...I plan on getting psu this weekend..I was goofing around and ran my rig with HDMI on the onboard Intel 630 chip...no rebooting...I know gaming sucks with this but running boarderlands 3 no rebooting...also I know it doesn't draw the power my rtx does...so my question is do you still think it's a psu problem..I also diconnected the rtx card...just wondering...

 

[Vic 40]

Yes, sounds even more likely that it is the psu.

Thanks....and it's making a little noise...I will get new psu...and hopefully since my trx works with no load ....I'll keep my fingers crossed that no harm came to my gpu...!!!
