There's more to a computer than a graphicscard and like someone smart said "The wattage itself depends on the system you are running."

Here's just an example of a site where one can check what type of PSU is needed.

I don't know but to my experience by having a good tone it's more likely that peeps listen to what you say.

You are more likely to find one of the brands I posted than a Seasonic. But I'll give it to you, u came with a suggestion...kinda.

Anyways, we both agree that a 80 plus 500W is sufficient for most systems.
The OP had 350W so can't hurt with his new 500 Corsair (or rebranded Seasonic if u like).


Btw, I hate multiquote!

I don't mind your tone. People should be less sensitive about it but anyway...

Let's not fail to include the draw from USB when trying to figure out what one needs to power their system. Flight simmers tend to have quite a few USB devices all trying to get their juice as well.

"PC Power and Cooling" power supplies are the only ones I will use. They build industrial power supplies and hobby power supplies. They build them, not import them.
