A New psu

[Noob872]

This may sound stupid, but do i really need a 80 plus bronze, silver, or gold. I understand that you need a 80 plus powersupply, but cant you just get a standard 80 plus psu. I am using this to add on to my old dell inspiron that I already have.

Efficiency is not a guarantee of quality. 

 

What do you need the power supply for? What country and budget?

Cheapest good PSU on the US pcpartpicker:

You can check out the PSU tier list to see some insight of PSU quality. I don't recommend anything below tier B.

No.  You need a good quality PSU that won't blow up your parts. 

 

80 PLUS efficiency level has nothing to do with this.
