now the problem i have is that the power supply wasnt enough. So it seems that i have been falsely told that 550w was enough to power my computer. so i added as much of everything as i could and it seems that i need a 750w-800w PSU. So i was wondering if i should get 750w or 800w, or does it not really matter which??
heres 2 PSU's i found
