Which PSU should I buy?
in Desktops ·
Could I get a little help from anyone who knows their stuff?
So, my power supply finally gave up the ghost...
I was wondering what you guys would recommend for this specific setup?
processor ( Intel Core 2 duo E6400 box, 2x2.13GHz, 1066MHz, 775-pin, 2MB)
motherboard ( MB Gigabyte 965P-DS4, s775, i965, DDR II , SATA II RAID, FW, GLAN)
memory ( DDR2 1GB PC6400 (800 MHz) ,Kingmax)
power supply ( Power Supply FORTRON BlueStorm 500W, HQ, PFC, 2x12V, 12cm fan)
graphics card ( sapphire radeon HD 5550, 512 MB)
Also—does anyone know of a decent repair shop (maybe somewhere around Chicago?) that won't absolutely rip me off? You know, a place where they actually charge for their labor rather than just trying to squeeze every penny out of you? I’d love to take it somewhere professional because, honestly, I don't really trust myself to do this... I've never swapped out a power supply before, and I'm always worried about messing something up. Is it dangerous to try it alone??
Thanks so much in advance!!
