Dear All,

I'll be upgrading my PC

Motherboard: MSI H110 Pro VH
Memory: Kingston 8 GB 2133 MHZ
Storage: Extreme Pro SSD 250. (Having WD 500)
GPU: Zotac 950 AMP
4 Chasis Fan 2000RPM Cooler Master High flo
Writer: LG
Keyboard, Mouse, WIFI adapter.

Currently I have Circle 500W Raw power. Do i have to purchase new SMPS or will that be enough. 2 reason why im asking. 1. I saw one video which says that 12V should have min 18A. 2. When i connect second HDD 90 GB (Spare) to my existing PC one hard disk 500 WD skip.. Using 1 HDD. Please reply with reasonable answer..

If New one which of Corsair series is nice CS or VX i don't want Fully or semi modular.
Or suggest any other company's SMPS (PSU).

1| Look through this PSU tier list.
2| Cross reference it with this article.
3| Your unit looks shoddy to begin with. The PSU is considered to be the heart of your system so if the heart dies then so does the rest of your system(literally). I lost more than $1000US because I didn't check my power requirements and if the PSU was capable of providing the minimum power for my system.

We'd need a site off which you can purchase from though regardless I'd suggest getting a Seasonic M12II 620W unit if it's available for a good price in your location.
