I had a budget gaming pc built for me back in March this year.
At the end of April, My PSU blew and had to be replaced (Evo Labs Pentium 4 600w) it was replaced with the same model.
Christmas Eve, It literally POPPED again. The bloke who built and replaced it last time has now coincidentally disappeared and no longer builds PC's....
My specs are as follows:
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz Quad Core Processor
IP35 Pro Socket 775 Motherboard (Crossfire Ready)
4GB HyperX DD2 1066 Ram (2 Slots empty for upgrade)
Large Coolermaster CPU Cooler (Blue LED's)
4 x 120mm Coolermaster Case Fans and 40mm Chipset Fan
500GB SATA Hard Drive
DVD Dual Layer rewriter
650W Power Supply
Palit Sonic GTX 260 216SP Version Graphics card with HDMI, VGA and DVI Outputs (216 cores and 55nm version, boxed)
Aerocool PowerWatch Fan Controller and System Monitoring Display with Memory Card Reader
P35 express chipset
I am now looking for a new PSU (I found this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/269259-corsair-600w-cx-series-v2-psu-6x-sata-2x-pci-e-cmpu-600cxv2uk)
Would you recommend this or suggest another? I have a £70 budget.
Also, is 600W enough? Why would the power blow out twice in less than a year?
