Hello, I'm currently in need of a new PSU as my old one has decided to blow up recently after a good couple of years use. It was a cheap CiT brand, 750W (http://www.ebuyer.com/159708-cit-750w-dual-12v-rail-12cm-fan-psu-4x-sata-1x-psucit750ub?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products&gclid=CIHP78mp-rYCFerHtAodqjoAZA).
My current system is as follows;
M5A87L-M/USB3 Mobo
Nvidia GTX 550 Ti
AMD FX-6100 3.3ghz
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
with 1 case fan and an optical drive and a part on the front for headphones etc
Though in the future I may be adding;
1 more 120mm case fan
Nvidia GTX 660 Ti (to replace the 550)
Another 1 or 2 TB HDD
and perhaps a fan controller.
So my question is fairly simple, which PSU should I get that's fairly decent (I hear that branded PSUs tend to last longer) and has enough headroom for the future upgrades? Budget is flexible, though the cheaper the better. Not as importantly, is there anything I have to do after installing the new PSU before turning it on?
Any advice is appreciated, as I don't really know much about PSUs. Cheers.
