So first, let me start off with my system specs:
Gigabyte F2A55M-DS2 mobo
AMD 5800k APU
MSI R9 270 Gaming gpu
Barracuda Seagate 1 tb drive
8 gb RAM
Disc burner
Lepa N series N500w psu
My gpu requires 500w psu and thought it would be fine, well I started up bioshock Infinite, could play ultra with no problem, was about 5 to 10 minutes into the game and two pops and a spark, so I'm just wondering if any of my components would be damaged. I'm guessing that I had a faulty power supply, running only two system fans and one led. I checked my mobo and didn't notice any burn marks along with my gpu. Should everything be okay and get a new psu? I really can't afford for any parts to be damaged being a newbie to building. Thanks in advance!
