When I built my PC back in november, I bought a cheap cooler master psu because the wattage requirements were low and I wasn't planning on overclocking.
In the times since, I overclocked my 8320 to 4.2 GHz at stock voltage. Heat isn't an issue because at full load during encoding it only goes up to 45~50 C. It was completely stable for 3 or so months but lately it has been randomly crashing as well as BSODs. I'm pretty sure that it's the PSU since it has cheap Chinese capacitors so I'm looking for a new power supply.
The budget is $80 but going under budget is not a problem. But I need to order by monday at the very latest because my PSU might die soon.
The two PSUs that I'm looking at are the Corsair CX600M or the Rosewill Hive 650.
I would greatly welcome any input.
Cheers
My rig is as follows:
AMD FX-8320 @ 4.2; stock voltage
Hyper 212 Evo
ASRock 970 Extreme4
Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz@1.55v
EVGA GTX 650 @ 1200 core; 6GHz GDDR5
OCZ Vertex 4; 128 GB
Seagate 2tb
LG DVD drive
