Hello everyone

First of all I hope I am on the right section!!

Well I have a custom PC and i have a problem with my PSU. It makes jizzzz sound sometimes and I am a little scared to be honest. My previous PSU was destroyed and i think that my current PSU is not doing really well.

My PCs specs are:

CPU i7 4770S
Motherboard AsRock Z87 Extreme
GPU Sapphire R9 270X
CPU Cooling Corsair Hydro H50
16 GB RAM
1SSD
1 HHD 7200RPM 1TB
and right now this is my PSU - SUPER FLOWER GOLDEN GREEN GOLD 80PLUS 600W

Maybee I need more watts? Probably a PSU around 750W or 850W??

No your current PSU is pretty good. Super flower makes really good units. If you want a more quiet unit get a SeaSonic 550w-660w. Your system can run at 500w. The last unit here is your best bet.

No. Your system can run on 500w PSU as long as it is good quality but one of the above will be truly silent. Especially the first and last. The PSU needs to be quality to run smooth and less about the wattage. I would prefer to have a better quality PSU over more wattage any day.
