What PSU would you recommend?

[vebdt]

I'm thinking about purchasing a new PSU because I was told that my current PSU has a bad quality and I'm not even sure if it's powerful enough.

My computer's details:
Motherboard: ASUS P8H67 Intel H67 LGA1155 ATX
CPU: Intel Core i5 3,10GHz LGA1155 6MB (i5-2400)
VGA: ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5
PSU: Cooler Master RS-600-ACAB-M2

Is it worth buying a new one (and in this case what would you recommend) or should I just keep the current PSU?

That is a thunder PSU I believe, so it's very bad 😛

You might be alright with it since your computer will only draw 300w max (including room for safety)

If you wanted to get a new one, get a Seasonic, XFX and Antec PSU.

What site would you be buying from and what is your budget?

 

[vebdt]

Well I'm not sure about the website Amazon.co.uk would be the easiest I guess and my budget is about £40-50.

Hi vebdt
Your GeForce GTX 760 requires a psu with 30A on the +12v rail and a 500W PSU minimum
your Cooler Master RS-600-ACAB-M2 has 45A on the combined +12v rails
although you may get away with using your current psu it is a very poor quality psu with low grade capacitors and may struggle under load
to cope with your 760
i would recommend
http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004RJ8EKI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1404502264&sr=8-5&keywords=xfx+psu
it has high grade capacitors and enough wattage for your card and system
It has a single +12v rail rated at 45A on the +12v rail
and is £44.76 within your budget

I agree that the XFX would be the one to get, except this is there for some reason

Item Under Review

This product is not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because a customer recently told us that the item he or she received was not as described.

We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page.

Sometimes other sellers on amazon will have high shipping costs, check that out first.

Here is an alternate site with the same XFX.

If you can't get that one, I'd recommend the EVGA 600B as a next best.
