PSU Needed!

Firenze · 17 Nov 2011 at 10:23

Hey guys,

I've got a friend who's gone and spilt OJ into his case (through the fan space on top of his Antec 300) and needs a new PSU. He's only got a mid-range build, (i5 760, GTX 460, P55 Mobo, 4GB RAM, Sata HDD and DVD drive), so isn't exactly power hungry.

He's pretty short on cash too but would want something thats going to last a little while.

Any suggestions?
he just broke this:

Just wondering if he should get another or is there something else at a similar price that would be better?

Thanks in advance!

that should be more than fine, could also look at the Lepa W-Series 500W:

cheers for the advice mate, not sure if he's in need of it, he says following corsair's guide he's tested his power supply and it appears to be working. He has now no clue what the issue is, I think its time to go to the "Professionals"

Thanks again!
