Hello guys,

My PSU recently went down, so I was thinking about getting a new & better one within my budget, below are my rigs (it's an obsolete rig smile.gifsmile.gif

Proc : AMD Phenom X3 8650
Mobo : Gigabyte GA - MA78GM - S2HP
RAM : 2 x 2GB DDR2 RAM
Graphic : Sapphire HD6670 DDR5 1GB
HDD : 1TB Samsung

My budget is around RM200 (Maybe I can top-up another RM50 if situation permits)

My question is, will a good 500W PSU power up this system efficiently.?

Please suggest me a decent PSU with its retail price.

Note taken, thanks.!!!! smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

One more thing, is it possible that my old PSU was the main culprit when everytime my PC is on heavy load (video editing mainly), it constantly shutting down by itself.?

I had what u called a chicken brand PSU rated at 550W at that time, and before it went totally poof, my PC kept restarting every 30 minutes or so.
