Hi all,
Just yesterday whilst installing my h100i, I accidentally dropped a screw in to my PSU. Thinking not much of it, and partly forgetting about it, I continued to put everything together then I attempted to turn my pc on, it turned on for about a split second then the power tripped in my room. I took the PSU out and tried the pin trick to see if it still worked and I had found out that it was completely dead, so I thought I must of blown a fuse in it or something, as you can imagine that was quite disappointing since I had it for a good year and a half and it never gave me any problems.
Anyways, I forgot where I got it from (even though the warranty lasts for 2 years) and it'l be too much hassle to find out with the countless email addresses I have so I have decided that I need to purchase a new one, but the question is how much wattage should the new power supply I get be? I plan to pick up another gtx 660ti in the near future as they're pretty dirt cheap and I will be wanting to run them in SLI, therefore I want to have enough power to not have any problems as obviously they will be requiring more power than from just one card. Also if you could suggest which PSU's are good then that'd be great too!
I'd appreciate any help I can get
Thanks!
