New power supply recommendation

bigboss619 · Sep 28, 2014

Here are my specs: https://imageshack.com/i/ng46ab00p
Recently upgraded my case to have plenty of room for upgrades but before I add anything im gonna need a new power supply. I want it to be modular, so that I can hook up all 4 of my fans (motherboard only has one spot for fans and already using splitter) and have enough power for them and a graphics card. Its a prebuilt acer slim system that came with a 250 watt power supply

Whether the PSU is modular or not means nothing when it comes to plugging in fans. Just get Molex to 3/4pin fan adapters, more than likely the fans included with the case or that you buy will have some .

My stock, generic answer for "I need a PSU" is this one.

Manufactured by Seasonic, pretty cheap and 550W is plenty for a single GPU gaming rig.

Hello,

For the PSU, I second the manofchalk solution.

For using more fans than your motherboard capacity, i don't recommend using splitters, because you don't know the power rating for that fan port; go for this instead:

Or, if you don't like the idea of using one of the 5.25" bays:

The PSU connects directly to it and you could use pretty much any fans you like (36W means +12V/3 Amps on each channel).
