Hello there just installed a new PSU thinking the one that came with my pc wasn't suitable was just wondering if someone could tell me if i just upgraded or downgraded my PC, the PSU i removed was a 500W FSP GROUP INC power supply model number is: FSP500-60HHN. And i have installed a new 550W super flower HX series Golden Green 80 plus gold let me know guys not really sure thankyou,

You have upgraded from a cheaply made PSU which is often put in pre-built computers to save money, to a very high quality efficient unit which is able to provide constant power easily, safely, and quietly.

Furthermore, the new PSU has a rated output of 550W, which is 50W greater than the rated output of the one you replaced. In reality the difference is likely to be more substantial, as cheaper PSU's are often 'over-rated' to make them seem better than they actually are. A practice which Superflower, as makers of quality PSU's, do not partake in.

The PSU you replaced is not complete rubbish however, it would do as a spare.

A good upgrade. :)
