well i was sitting playing crysis and all of a sudden my computer shuts down and would'nt turn on, so i left if for and 30 minutes in case of overheating and when i did, there was a bang and some sparks came outta the power supply, i was wondering if this would have caused any damage to any of my other components ? and i dont have a spare power supply lying around to try it.

its a rather cheap one. i got it from Maplin, its a "G7" and it a 880w

well ive got an AMD 1090T and a AMD 6950 and i do play a fair bit of games, how much do you reckon its gonna be for one that will power that or what wattage should i be looking at ?

ive got just the one, a western digital 750gb

yeah from what i can see inside there is fair few burnt chips also when i shake it theres some ratteling. just having a look at some power supplies, will a Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 be any good ?

.

would a 600w be enough ? as i am definitely looking to upgrade in the near future.

thanks for all the help, im just going to buy a XFX Pro 750W to be on the safe side and have a some extra power there if i need it.
