I just bought a R9 Graphics Card and a 750w power supply then i looked at the reviews for the power supply

And they are awfull
So i bought a new PSU

So my question is should i wait 3 days while this R9 is looking at me saying "Please use me the game quality will be so much better"
until the new PSU comes
Or would i be alright to use the crappy KenTek PSU for the next 3 days until my new one comes

Preferably you want a tier 1 or 2 unit. Without a model number I can't tell you if the units good or not Thermaltake has a couple of good units but they have alot of garbage too.

Uh the psu is terrible . I wouldn't recommend it. It's very tempting I know . But it's not worth the risk . I recommend taking out the psu and package it back up. Don't use it. Or stab a giant whole in it so you won't use it .

Im gonna solution your comment and i bought a psu and posted it on here and they said it sucked so i bought another one and posted it and someone told me to stab it with a knife it sucks so much so i said screw it and went to bestbuy and got one and its been working perfectly, its really quiet and no problems so far although now i have to return the two ones i bought online
