Hello everyone,
I just recently finished my gaming computer build as of a few days ago, however, I made the bad decision of skimping out on the PSU, by going with an Ultra LSP 750w. Moments after installing it, it pretty much pooped out on me, so after a few hours of testing it, I eventually got a refund on it after sending it back. I did however call tech support about it, and they said that my system will use up at least 700+ watts at the minimum, apparently even when not under heavy load.
My system: (no overclocks... yet)
CPU: FX 8350
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
GPU: GTX 780 SC w/ ACX Cooling
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8) 1600MHz
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 250GB
Motherboard: ASUS M5A99X Evo r2.0
And I also have 5 120mm LED case fans, a small wireless network card, and all the other basic peripheral components.
So regardless of whether or not 750 watts is enough, I'll still need to buy one in the end, so that's where I need your help in. Any recommendations for a great quality PSU (around $100 or under preferably), would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!
