i have this cheap crappy powersupply in my system
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817170014

i am worried that it may crash someday because it looks like a peice of crap. i have had it for 2 weeks and is working fine, but i am worried that it would crash and i am not in a financial situation to get a new powersupply. so my question is what happens if my powersupply breaks down on me. i mean will my system stop working, will some parts of the system will damage. or what will happen?

and can anyone recommend a good powersupply for about 50 bucks, and minimum of 550 watts. i will buy this once i have the money

thank you very much
 
oh ya, i forgot to post my sig, sorry about that

i am running a
pentium 4 with ht
evga 7900 gs
corsair 4x512 ram
80 gig hard drive
2 dvd burners and one 13 in one card reader (all internal)
thats about it actually
 
sometimes u get lucky sometimes u fry ur system i just recently had a power supply die on me with no adverse affects. Some arent nearly as lucky sometimes it can cause a power surge usually only killing the mobo but can damage almost anything.According to the reviews on newegg that ps is total crap i would suggest a new one asap.
 
yup ive had a 500w PSU fry my whole rig before i went to get a glass of water came back and it was smoking, my GF was all like i didn't touch it I swear. lol, but i will never be cheap again, the end result the inside of my case was covered in burnt plastic frayed wires and zip ties everywhere not to mention a fried PSU, CPU, Mobo,memory sound card, but my old geforce 2 survived i think those things were made of steel back then. My GF is running this thing
