hi all,

was thinking of upgrading my pc as it has been 5.5 years. I tried to start yesterday but there was no power. I suspect my power supply GG already.

Beside the power supply, is there anything I can upgrade?

Budget maybe around $500-$700.

thanks!

You can add in a SSD. As for the graphic card, it depends on what games you play and at what kind of settings, Ultra, Very high or high.

Run a simple PSU test

This works for any brand PSU.



If your fan is spinning, then time to do an overhaul.

I don't wish to see you assume and end up realising PSU working fine and getting a new PSU for nothing...
