My pc was randomly restarting while gaming even watching videos on PC. I had posted lots of threads regarding this issue. Finally i found out myself it was PSU issue. The 24-pin connector is loosen, probably shrink. I put a 24pin extension cable to test the PSU, When i even touch the 24pin psu, it restarts. Same also after putting the extention cable. So i have decided to purchase new PSU but i am confused about the level(80 Plus) of the psu. I run the pc average 18 hours in a day, sometimes whole day. I didn't do much gaming but from now i will gaming for average 7-8 hours a day. So, which PSU should i buy? corsair cx550 bronze or rm650x gold(as no corsair 550 gold variants available on my region)?

Please experts help me to choose proper PSU. Off course recommend me from CORSAIR brand rather than other brands.

Jesus, even 400w would be more than enough for a locked CPU&GTX1050Ti.

 

Get something with 400-450w, like BeQuiet! PurePower11, Bitfenix Formula Gold or some such : ) No need of going above 450..

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )
