I just feel i'm unlucky, used them and they all failed but I have used plenty of Antec's Basiq PSUs and they have worked 100%

Arent the fail rate on Tier 3's really low?

Yeah, as you go up the tiers reliability and efficiency go up

Kinda funny.. Those PSU's are pretty terrible and shouldn't be recommended.

But as long as you don't buy a very low end one you should be good, or from an unknown company

Tier 5 PSU but the most reliable PSUs I've ever used

Like the Basiq lineup

my suggestion would be to upgrade to a core 2 quad first and i honestly don't know about the graphics card you should use but, as said above a 750 would be good because some variants of it don't need external power.. i still use a core 2 quad q9450 + gtx 1050 setup and it runs my games on 1366x768 with about 40-60 fps depending on the game.. so i think just save up to get a sandy bridge system

I'd say Tier 6 and 7 are the low end ones, 5 and 4 are mid, and 3 and up are high

And 6 depending on which you buy.

I think you've been lucky with the wrong PSU's

For gaming; Go for Tier 3 and up.

I always get the BP model as it's the best one IMO

Yeah but I mean, for what the Basiq is marketed as, its meant to be used in a low end low power PC/HTPC and it works great for that

But I mean in the end I'm a sucker for Antec products  That's why my parent's new PC is gonna be a Antec Sonata Proto case, Antec Basiq PSU and and cute lil Antec fan in the back

for your rig, replace the pentium with a core 2 quad and find a used low-profile gtx 750/ti/gt 1030 or gtx 1050/ti if you can afford it.

You can get a 750TI for cheaper then a GT 1030 and it beats it into the ground, never buy a GT 1030
