Hey guys i actually changed my system's psu with this one http://www.plaisio.gr/ypologistes-anavathmisi/anavathmisi-ypologisti/psu-trofodotiko/Turbo-X-500W-Power-Series-RX-500AF.htm  (copy and paste it it wont open any other way)

My system: 

8320 AMD

GTX 550TI ASIC 95.5 OVERCLOCKED 1 GHz

DID I SCREW THAT UP HM????????????????

Correct link: http://www.plaisio.gr/ypologistes-anavathmisi/anavathmisi-ypologisti/psu-trofodotiko/Turbo-X-500W-Power-Series-RX-500AF.htm

@OP: you need to change the URL in the URL tags in your post - just tick the editorbutton at the top left to switch to text-mode and change the address.

the one you changed was only the displayed one but not the actual link..

 

and regarding the PSU: I never heard of the brand before and it doesnt look like high quality but it should be able to run your system. though with that overclock it could get to the limit. I'd even prefer a Corsair CX over that..

Almost looks like a rebranded Raidmax 500RF, except it claims to have a single 12V rail. It's more of a 400W power supply (based on its 12V rating), which is already just barely enough for your hardware. Combined with the likely low quality, I'd recommend getting a replacement.

By the way it claims to be 484 watt but the interesting part is that the combined VA of all rails exceed the claimed wattage by a lot 

Whats happening? (i was running aida 64 stability fpu cpu mem gpu and it got decently hot )but there is something even more interesting my cpu enabled turbo core but it only got up to 3.7 ghz and then it started fluctuating between 3.5 and 3.7 WTF

simply put: dont buy garbage. specially not obvious one.

I always say the 2 components you shouldnt save investements on are PSU and mainboard..

It says 384W on the 12V rail, and the 12V rail should be above 450W on a 500W power supply (since most power will be drawn on the 12V rail).

 

The combined capacity of all the rails exceeds the total capacity of the power supply because you're not going to be able to stress all rails to their full extent simultaneously anyway. The higher capacity on the individual rails makes the power supply more flexible, and that part isn't a problem; high quality power supplies are like that too (except those that use DC-DC converters).

 

The max turbo of the FX-8320 with more than 4 cores loaded is 3.7 GHz. 4 GHz is only when fewer cores are working. It may be dropping from the 3.7 GHz turbo to 3.5 GHz because of power limit or temperature limit. Maybe if you cooled it down more, it would sustain 3.7 GHz.
