First off, Happy New Years Everyone!
Well my current PC died, so I had to order a new one (just the tower). I know I should have built one (used to) but:
A) I'm disabled and can only use one hand so getting on my hands and knees to assemble a computer is out of the question.
B) I don't have any friends or family members that could assemble one for me.
My budget was about $900 and i went with this: http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6970829
I know the reviews are only 3 and half stars, but the negative posts seem like they were from people who didnt have too much technical knowledge. Their main complaint was about the GPU crashing which can probably be solved with driver updates/rollbacks.
Anyways, my friend said the PSU that comes with this system is junk (Ultra 500W). So is he right should I replace it ASAP? Or is this PSU sufficient for the rig? If I need to replace it, what PSU do you recommend? Cheaper the better but I don't want to sacrifice quality!
