Someone help me. My PSU (generic brand) just fried when i loaded a new "r9 280 windforce" graphics card with about 2 hours of full use. I think the motherboard is fine and the rest too. Im planning to buy a new PSU, but what would you recommend?, a pixxo monster 800watts or an "EVGA white 600w 80 plus"?.

Neither.

 

Any other options? 500W is enough.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Nope, just EVGA, and coolermaster, but out of my budget

A power supply is one component you definitely don't want to cheap out on. If it's bad it can take out your entire system and that is obviously more money than what you thought were saving. If it's for a new build, I would readjust the prices of other components to allow for a reliable power supply. If it's a replacement, I would wait and save more.

Are you sure an EVGA 500w Bronze 80+ wont do the trick?? I only have an FX 6300 and the HDD.

Your original post said EVGA white 600 80 plus and I had no idea what that was. The EVGA 500w bronze should be enough.
