So I have a fairly new custom built PC (about a month and a half old)
Specs
AMD FX-6300 6core CPU
XFX AMD Radeon r7 250x GPU
320GB WD 7200RPM HDD
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 MOBO
No disk drive installed at the moment
So far I have been using this medium range gaming PC for low end games like Garry's Mod and Minecraft. I even tried Evolve and it ran fairly well (50fps medium settings around)
My PSU is Kentek 750w PSU
I know the powersupply i got for my PC isnt a name brand and I know it was a horrible idea to not get corsair or coolermaster etc., but i already had all my PC parts ordered because my brother had recommended this PSU for my pc build and i didn't look too much into it.
Ive read reports of no name brand PSUs not providing enough power to the PC as it says it can handle (Im thinking thats where all the stories of components frying and etc. come from)
I don't know much about Power usage so I dont know if i got a lucky PSU (for working for a month while most complaints about this happened either as a DOA or after like a week) or if it is because i am not meeting the max wattage the PSU can handle.
Im currently downloading Halo5 forge and I know my PC will have a hard time running it, but thats why im downloading it to see what my GPU can handle. So if a GPU uses more power does the PSU use more power or does the GPU take as much power from the PSU no matter the load that is put on it.
I just dont want to 1. buy a new PSU. 2. Blow up my PC
Any further questions on the topic, please ask.
Any info on anything will be highly appreciated.
I am 15 btw and i'm looking into getting to know a lot more about computers. But for now ,i cant really find anything on this topic from a lot of browsing the interwebs.
Thanks
