Hello to the community,

i am actually running my pc with the current setup

CPU: FX-8350
Board: Asrock 970DE3/U3S3
GPU: Gigabyte 7870 GHz Edition

It works fine with the Be Quiet Pure Power L8 400 Watt PSU.

Should I leave the setting or better upgrade the PSU?

The system is Running games with full settings without powering off.

Upgrade it, just because it works, does not mean its ideal.If the PSU decides to fail due to extended periods of high load, then it could take half your system with it.

what kind of PSU would you recommend? Stay with be Quiet or is there a better choice, and how much Watts should i have to run fine with that setting?

A reliable 550W PSU would be perfect.

here is a tiered PSU list. Stick to a unit from Tier1, tier2a or tier 2b...

Great, thank you again. Next step will be a new case. My good old Thermaltake Xaser II doesn't seem to have a good airflow :/

Yeah I kind of have a pet peeve against Thermaltake, subpar products for their price.

A lot of options these days. Corsair 300R is nice.
