Hey guys,
I am currently building a somewhat budget gaming build and i am currently fretting over whether i made the right choice on purchasing a CoolerMaster MasterWatt Lite 500W. I am definitely sure that 500W provides the system with a sufficient amount of wattage but im worried that the power supply may not be as reputable as other brands. The PSU has a rating of 80+ (no bronze, silver, or gold rating; just 80+). I've read multiple threads discussing the importance of choosing the right PSU and i came across one thread saying how important it is to choose a bronze or more rated PSU. Should i discontinue using the MasterWatt Lite 500W? Or should i purchase a new one? If so, are there any precautionary steps i should take before switching it out, or can i just simply take out the current one and replace it?
