Hi! My computer build is finished, and it's my first build. Using many online wattage calculators, I've gotten estimates of wattage I will use that range from 350-700. I have a 550w bronze XFX Cooler Master PSU now. I have a few questions about this.
1.Can the current PSU work with my build? (Build is posted at the bottom.)
2. If my PSU shorts out, will it damage other components in the build?
3. If a new PSU is needed, what one would you recommend I upgrade to?
4. Also, if there's any concerns or help you could give me for my new finished build, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you all very much.
