Hopefully this will be my last PSU questions
1. If my system is rated to be around 350w and i get a not so good
brand psu at 500w would it still be able to run "ok" since it is 150w extra?
What would be the main side effects of not getting a good quality psu?
2. I read somewhere once where some guy used his psu for the first time and his hardwares blew up (hdd,mboard,etc)
When running psu for the first time are there special precautions or steps i can do to
make sure it doesnt happen to me?.
If i gave you this information from a psu would you be able to tell if it is good or not?
