because i feel like this build is pretty low wattage my card doesnt even use a 6 pin
i dont plan on upgrading anything in this build for a long time at which point id likely need an entirely new build

and if i can use a lower wattage and get better quality that wont die in a year that bonus... but that seem like your point which is also my goal so idk?

e: if i have to pay $70 for a decent psu and you guys really think i need 500+ im just going to take the one out of this tower

Load Wattage: 402 W
Recommended UPS rating: 850 VA
Recommended PSU Wattage: 452 W


this is what my usage came up to and thats like the max i would ever be using since i added extra just to see where it would be about
what is the bronze silver gold platnum certified? is that like a quality standard?and anything below bronze is like almost guranteed to die in a year sorta deal?

would something like this be worth getting? if not imma prob just reuse my current 500w psu because its getting out of my price range for a psu ><

^ it's really up to you man.

You can cheap out and spend $30 on a psu, at the risk of getting rekt further or spend slightly more for actual quality stuff.
PSU is one of the things you should never cheap out on a build
