Well, the title tells.
I had a cheap PSU named "Energon" 750W and i heard quite a lot of bad things about them. So i decided to buy a new before it was too late.
Also i wanted to go power efficient so im aiming for the GTX 670 too which eats less power than my current GPU (Or what?)
"Be Quiet!" got quite a good reputation through it's very underrated. Not a lot of people know about it or just don't talk about it.
They are known for their CPU Coolers, Case Fans and also their PSU's
Well i just bought a PSU by them because it was on a discount and they got alot of positive response but here is my specs.
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K
GPU: GeForce GTX 275
RAM: 12 GB Kingston
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus GENE-Z *EDIT* This is a Micro-ATX Motherboard
1 - 500 GB Seagate
1 - DVD-ROM
PSU: Be Quiet! Straight Power E8 500W
Cheap PSU: Energon 750W
Is 500W enough?
Here some info about the Be Quiet! PSU: http://www.bequiet.com/en/powersupply/218
So far i played a few games without any errors of any kind. But i would like to know more.
I feel like i rushed too quickly even if PSU Calculators told me that 450 or less was enough.
