I mean if the PSU doesn't seem to be dying and you aren't running a big GPU on it, than I'd probs spring for an SSD so you can improve the whole computer experience. What are the rest of your specs? What do you use your computer for mostly? Is anything not working now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even high-end hardware will carry a 5-year warranty. It's going on twice that. Catch my drift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going on twice that. Catch my drift? Just because it's out of warranty doesn't mean it's gonna just up and die. I used a PSU for 10 years, the only reason I upgraded it was because I was drawing too much power now, and I plan to use it in separate build in a few months. Why not be smarter with your money and keep saving so you have more than $50 to spend on something way better than what you could end up getting now.

Somewhat true for a PSU, but if talking about a 500GB 2.5" SSD those can be had for that price that aren't garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 2, 2019 15 minutes ago, VenomZ_ said: lasted me just fine tbh And that's your risk to take. But in the PSU sub forum someone would be happy to explain just how foolish it can be to trust a $30 PSU with your computer parts (regardless if it's EVGA, their stupid-cheap stuff is as bad as any lesser-known brand). The quick summary is: just don't, even if it doesn't start on fire, the bump up to a $60 PSU with real protections and actual non-trash design is orders of magnitude safer, smarter, and results in not taking stupid risks with a PSU that might otherwise make your system unstable, deliver fatal out-of-spec power to other parts, or fail far more quickly.
