Hi,

My PC's PSU died on me and have to buy a new one.

It was a s*itty Win Power 450W PSU, and was surprised that it lasted for over 6 months!

Now, I have found a good PSU, priced reasonably, but it is 350W.


The reason I posted this thread is to ask you guys if it's enough for my PC.

My PC's specs are:

AMD Athlon II 64 AM3 240 (2,8 GHz)
ASROCK K10N78 MOBO, with NVIDIA 8200 GPU (1GB RAM)
8GB RAM (800 MHz)
1TB HDD
& a dual layer 22x burning optical drive


Thanks to everybody in advance :)
 
Yeah, a 350w power supply should be able to handle that rig. What really matters, though, is how many amps there are on the 12v rail. Some companies will claim to have a 350w PSU, and it has something like 17amp on the 12v rail, wheras other companies will say they have a 350w power supply, and it has 20amp on the 12v rail.

Well the one I found was a "Fortron FSP350-60GHN(85) 350W 85+ ATX-PSU".

Cant really find anything about it. And the other one I was interested in was a Antec 400W, but for 54 f*cking euro!

So if you think that Fortron could be good then I'll buy it cause it's €22 and has 2 year warranty.
 
I'd get something along the lines of what daisymtc recommend. You want to get a decent quality PSU, if it dies, it could take your whole computer with it.
