Hello Everyone.

About a week ago I was playing GTA 5 and my PC suddenly reboot and monitor don't show any view. I started rewiring in piece by piece to see what was going wrong. And finally find out that my grpick card fried.

Then I plug HDMI cable into my motherboard port. Everything works fine except my graphic card.

This computer was assembled from some used parts.

GPU: ASUS GTX 670 (used)
Motherboard: ASUS P8H77-V (used)
CPU: i5-2500K (used)
PSU: Chieftec 750W (used)
SSD: Samsung EVO 850 120GB
HDD: 1 TB
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB

I don't know why my graphics card died. I think that my PSU is broken.
PC worked perfectly about 4 month after assembling.
Now I want to instal new graphic card to my PC. I am planning to buy MSI RX 480 4GB.
But I am afraid that my new GPU can die again.

I need some advice.

Thank you.

Sorry for my bad english. :)
 
Solution
If you want to be 100% safe you can get a new PSU. A Seasonic S12II, XFX TS, or Corsair CXM (not CX) would be good and shouldn't cost too much. Any 400W+ unit of those will work.
