Not enough info on your pc like how many hard drives or dvd-rom you have,......But you should get a power supply with at least a 500W ratings. Don't use the cheap brand, get one from a reputable brand like Antec, Enermax or if you want the best, buy a PC Power & Cooling power supply.

I hope this doesn't sound rude. But what exactly are you planning to do?
Are you building or upgrading?
Building If you have DVD drives go with the 450-500W power supply.
If you are upgrading then my question is why? Is it failing, damaged or nonfunctional?
Have you added on more then you have connectors for on the old power supply? Just curious

regularly occurring PSUs would be somewhat priceless. make confident it exceeds your desires. attempt and peek interior the casing without placing out it to work out in the event that they're applying glue. If glue is present, flow directly to a pair different maker. The glue would soften and unfasten connections under load. As a conventional rule, do not attempt to get by using on marginal specs on PSU of unknown makers. The greater marketed makes and fashions are commonly reviewed in on line web pages and oftentimes supply comparable consequences, i.e. they do meet the indicated specs and not a lot greater. IME maximum PSU will perform ok as long as they at the instant are not abused by using going previous the gadget limits, i.e. do not over clock. Your 700W unit could be fantastic, purely remember that the guarantee will in all probability purely conceal alternative of it and not something of your gadget could it blow up. good success. N.B. I even have not used one by using this maker.
