New PSU?

[Sri223]

Ah, Okay. And one last question: What will a decent PSU cost me?

 

[Ste]

for that system Id say 58-79$ maybe 85 being upper max.

 

[Flanker]

No way. A good quality PSU like my Forton will cost him $35 roundbouts. And its not that power-hungry of a system, so it doesn't need a crazy PSU.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If your power supply gives you no troubles right now, then just leave it alone.

 

[Sri223]

Yeah, is there any chance of my hardware being affected if the PSU gave out?

 

[Ste]

sometimes, if your very unlucky it can kill everything with it.

youd have to be the unluckyiest guy on earth though,.

My friend's PSU recently failed. 2 wires connected inside the PSU or something. Needless to say, the PSU was destroyed and half the motherboard was *literally* fried.

That will almost NEVER happen with a good-quality/good-brand PSU though.
