Right now the psu am using is crashing my system if I play gpu intensive games. I dial down the graphics settings and that can allow me to play usually but if it draws too many watts the pc huts off and restarts. Anyways At mosti wanted to spend about 60$ and am in Canada. Thanks again guys.

So am looking for a better psu. Can you help me determine if this will work for my core i7 2600 and msi Rx480 gaming x 4Gb. Am on a tight budget and I also might get a new case as well. Thanks in advance guys.

Did you buy that PSU recently (2nd hand?) or was it one that you had from and older system already?
I'm not familiar with the power supply, and all I can find for it is this old Amazon listing. It's not even listed on the "Retail Plus" website. https://www.amazon.ca/Retail-Plus-PS60-600W-limited-warranty/dp/B00PG7ZL7E

 

If that is the power supply you have it is very old and should not be used. You should buy a new power supply for your system.

 

If that's not the power supply you have, can you please take a photo of the power supply label.

Yea that’s the psu...I dialed down the graphics in games and it runs now..so clearly when the gpu draws too much power the pay can’t hadle it. I’m currently looking for a new one on amazon. Thanks guys

I just installed an msi rx480 gaming x gpu and a retail plus ps600w psu.. tried to play resident evil 2 remake and it lasted 2 minutes before it reset the pc. Tried again and it lasted only a couple of seconds just in the main title screen. Pc runs fine watching movies and other tasks.
