I've read reports that the PSU's are no good.. I currently only use it for playing LOL and some other video games that aren't to computer taxing. Do you think I should upgrade the PSU now or do I have time before an upgrade is needed? I don't want to have my computer fried as I just recently purchased it. Also which PSU would be the best bet when I do decide to upgrade?

Thanks

You haven't listed what power supply was included. For what purpose would you be upgrading? What does your PC not do well now that you would like to improve?

If the power supply fails in the near future, I imagine your warranty would cover fixing it.

I just want to prevent the computer from crashing.. How I find out out what power supply is included?

You'll probably have to open the side and look. My opinion: if it's working properly, don't mess with it. Address any crashes when they come. You have a warrantied OEM PC, and it's probably unwise to void the warranty right away.

Sounds good. I'll let it be then. Thank you for your help.
