What are the possible risks for using a 'no brand name' 500 watt psu on this system: Core 2 E6750, 8800gt, Gigabyte P35-DS3L mobo, 5.1 speakers, 160 gig harddrive, 1 dvd rom drive, 19" wide screen lcd? Is there a possibility damaging any of these components?
I'm thinking twice of getting a Corsair 520 watt psu which is highly recommended. Because I can get a 'no brand name' 500 watt psu which is 4 times cheaper than the Corsair 520 watt. Need your advice. Thanks in advance.
I guess I have no choice but to get a new psu. My current psu (350 watt) has had served me very well on my present system which is around 6 years old, Pentium 4 2ghz, Ati Radeon 9600xt. I'm planning to make a MAJOR upgrade but won't hurt much my pocket, that was why I was asking if my current psu is still okay. Most probably I'll get one of those brandnames you've suggested. Thanks a lot guys for your tips.
Is it worth getting a quality psu or just get a no name psu which is cheaper? If it's worth it, could you recommend one which is around 500 watts? Thanks in advance.
