Hi
So i was playing the witcher 3 when all of a sudden my pc died. Long story short i'm 90% sure its the PSU, an older Corsair HX850w. When i power on the fans spin for 1 second and then everything dies, i got the same result with the paperclip test, the fan turns on but then it dies. I also tried to use the psu to power a different pc but got the same results. And now i need a temporary PSU so i can play on, because the game is awesome. So i found the above mentioned PSUs, both used but still in warranty and both cost 50€. But i can't decide between corsairs better reviews or the more powerfull thermaltake, any advice would be appreciated. I plan to replace them in a few months but if they turn out to be ok i'll keep them.
my specs:
gtx 970
i7 4790k
16gb ram
...
All stock but i wanted to oc a bit in the near future.
