What Power Supply Should I Get?
I currently use a crappy PSU and I would like to upgrade so my PSU won't die on me.


REQUIREMENTS:
At least Semi-modular
has an 80+ rating.
Made by a reputable company such as Corsair or EVGA.
Under $70 USD
Is at least 600 Watt.

Get the Seasonic G-550 as it is a good-quality PSU, better efficiency, semi-modular, 50C rated oper. temp, 5-year warranty, within your budget, and more than enough to run your setup.

What components (esp. CPU and GPU) are you running that necessitates a 600W PSU, because more than likely, you would be good enough with this (fits your $70 dollar budget):

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Total: $69.39
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

If you really need 600W, then just add $8 to get this:

I'm sort of in doubt about a 700 watt PSU, I have a decent overclock on my GPU, here are my specs.

A power supply calculator said i needed a 750 watt PSU bcuz of the overclock, but i kinda doubt that.

A good 450w PSU would run those specs even with an overclocked gpu
