Hi, I built my computer last week and today my power supply made a huge pop and firework effect when I tried to power on my computer. The rest of my components are as follows:

AMD FX-6300 3.5Ghz 6-Core
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower

So I am looking for a new power supply, definitely around 700W with 80+ efficiency, even 90+ if price is not too high, keep the price under 130$ definitely.

Any replies appreciated, thanks :)
