Hi
I'm pretty new to the PC world and I recently bought a half decent starter pre built PC (kit details to follow) I've kind of got the bug a little, I've bought a new case (CM Scout 2) I thought it would make sense make sure all failable major components are looked at while I'm moving it all to the new case. My main query is my PSU - can't find a great deal about it online but it is a Silenzo LPK16-600w, it seems to cope quite well and so far not had any problems. A friend keeps telling me it's cheap rubbish, replace it ASAP, but do I really need to? Is it worth investing £60/£70 on a new PSU at this stage?
Current kit is
Asus F2A85-M motherboard
AMD A10-5800k
Additional GPU - Asus HD6670 (added by me)
and the Siolenzo LPK16-600w The PSU
I was looking at is the Corsair GS700 (2013 edition) I was also looking at upgrading the heatsink (either the Enermax ETS-T40-TB or Xigmatek Dark Knight) I have a max budget of £100 - or is there something else I should be looking to upgrade?
Predominant use is gaming, any advise would be much apreciated
Many thanks,
Dan
