I had a RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W worked well for a week then died on me should i just get a refund and buy a difrent psu my system needs a min 430 wats i wanted to get at least 500+wats

My old psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152028

Should i just try to get a replacement and hope it works this time or send it back get my money back and order a difrent brand if so what psu do you recommend i want to have at least 500 wats my price range is 40-70 on for the psu i just want one that has a low chance of failing on me.

Raidmax not good get something else. Budget Antec or Corsair CX series is much better. Example http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

your old PSU was only rated for 444 Watts Max on the 12 volt rails. in reality it can probably deliver under 400 Watts, maybe 350 since the combined current ratings of the 12 V rails is always higher than what can actually be delivered. its hard to say since they lumped the 3.3v and 5v wattage with the 12v so you can tell how bad it actually is. Don't get a replacement and expect it to work.

The 600 Watt would do fine. its rated for 480 Watts on the 12 volt. the 500 Watt rolli59 linked is rated 408W and would probably work as well. if I remember right the 4870 is a 225W part and the CPU should be under 100 though so I would lean toward the 600w

enough for your build and xfx psus are manufactured by seasonic(best psu maker IMO).it's enough power,quality,efficient and more over dirt cheap!
