Upgrading my PSU

[Hate__]

So my integrated video card went out, and upon using the Power Supply Calculator was told that my system would use 811W. I had planned to get an 850W PSU but don't want to waste money if I buy the wrong thing.

Anyone have an advice on what to look for?

What are your full system specs?

811Ws is a lot, you'd have to have like mutliple AMD GPUs and a big AMD CPU as well to get anywhere near that.

Calculators inflate your needs , not accurate , list your specs.

You don't need even close to 800w.

There is no way in the world your PC needs 811 Watts. 400 tops....

Overkill, excellent quality, and 58 bucks, cant go wrong:

A high quality 550w is more than enough for those specs.
