Hello, Another quick questions thread, anyways, im wondering how to tell if a PSU is a good brand, like, If you check my $1,400 pc build, Im wondering on how to check for a bad psu (Dont need one blowing up on me on the 2nd month...


Any ideas? (Is the corsair Hx and CX series good?) any good reccommendation for brands?)

EVGA is a good brand, though their budget series isn't the best if i'm honest. That PSU is a rebranded FSP Aurum Gold unit, so you should be fine with that one. Ideally, you want to reference to this PSU tier guide I remade, to be sure on what you buy is a good, quality unit -
