Hey guys i have corsair vs 550W and lately my pc started shutting down when i play fc4 so ofcourse i ran some test and i guess it's the psu .. i could run prime95 or furmark for 20 mins but at my first minute at OCCT powersupply test my pc shutted down .. that would mean it's the PSU i guess ? , well it's a 3 years old pc with radeon hd 7870xt and i5 3570k so i need a suggestion for a psu replacment that i can game with for around 1 year .. ( u know im not willing to invest into very good one since in about a year my pc wouldnt be able to run modern games) so im looking for the best cheap one actually.
thanks in advance for suggestions and any other help that i may get :D .

Thanks alot guys i think im going to go for the seasonic s12ii 620w 80+bronze since it's the only one that i found locally , im from israel i use the shekel
and this seasonic here is going for around 98$ ... which is from what i see from other comments is pretty expensive ? so an other question would be ?
is it safe to buy a PSU from ebay or any other website (any suggestion u have would be very appreciated) ?
btw weirdly enough there doesnt seem to be any evga powersupplies at israel :D !
the antec vp650p is 85$

Where are you shopping from?

edit: sorry, didn't refresh the page and posted the answer before i saw the other ones.. :D

The S12II would probably bee the best choice, but you could probably get it cheaper from ebay. The issue with Ebay is warranty; if your PSU comes dead or brakes within the warranty period, you'll have a hard time sending it back for warranty. Extra shipping costs might add up to the $98 from your local store.
But that's if it brakes, and with such a good unit, it's unlikely.

You're fine off with the 520W version, a TweakTown review showed that the 7870XT + i7 would draw no more than 380W.
 


Jewish? The Seasonic is the best choice.

Well the seasonic is the best choice but do i actually need it ? , like i said my pc wont serve me much longer 2 years max so do i really need the seasonic or the antec vp is enough ?
mostly I'm not greedy, especially when it's about my PC but I'm actually just wondring :D O:) ?
