Hi everyone,
I am building a new computer and am looking for an appropriate power supply. I already picked all the other parts: Leru's build
I got confused about what is necessary, what is useful and what is just extra, so any advice on that would be very much appreciated. I had this posted in the system forum before realizing that the components forum would be more appropriate.
I'd like to keep the price under £100 if possible, since my budget is already rather stretched.
I thought about getting a 550W, not sure if that is enough though and whether getting a PSU with more wattage would be better. On that note: Does a PSU that has higher wattage (like 550W vs 650W) cost me more in electricity bills?
Modular would be nice, but performance of the PSU is more important to me.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Approximate Purchase Date: As soon as possible
Budget Range: £100
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (atleast Skyrim at high settings), movies, internet surfing. other generic computer usage
Parts to Upgrade: PSU
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon.co.uk, novatech.co.uk, uk.pcpartpicker.com
Location: Glasgow, Lanarkshire, UK
Overclocking:No
SLI or Crossfire: not planning on it right now
Additional Comments: in order from most to least importance: enough power, efficient, reliable, quiet, easy to install, good cable managment
