    Don't wanna be that person, but *she, lol.

    So I've updated (to the best of my ability) my system specs, so you guys can click on them to assess what would be the best PSU to remedy this problem. If there is anything else I can do to further this, let me know.
    You should edit the ram memory info- is it a single stick of 4 Gb or are there 2 sticks of 2 Gb. If you know @ wich frequency they are, it would be good to write that too. Use the PSU calculators to see how much are you using now and add ~200 W to be safe with the new graphics card.
    Scrolling down, under Memory, is my ram. Friend gave that to me also.
    I think I put in everything mostly correct in the calculator and got like 275, but I don't think that sounds right. Plus 200 would only be 475 w. I was just gonna go with a good 650 w or greater PSU, if anyone could point me in the direction of a good one.

    Ok. I deffinetly miscalculated !
    I would certenly go for the 650+ psu and maybe a Corsair,Seasonic, Antec...

    I was looking at this one on Newegg, what do you guys think? It kind of stinks though because I can't return the PSU and I have nothing to do with it. :/

    Bought it from Newegg last month on the 14th. Unfortunately I'm just barely over the 30 day period.

    With 62 amps on the 12 V rail, wich is single, 80+ efficiency and 750W.. no comment needed. Maybe a less powerful psu would do the job for you, but when making a pc, never save mony on the power suply! If its weak and bad ,the entire system can "die".

    Smart choose, go for it!

    If you still have the box it came in, Call customer service tomorrow. Explain it is not enough watts for your card. Tell them you want to buy the one you linked to above. I will bet they will let you send it back for credit since you will buy the new one. I have bought $$$$$$ from NewEgg. They are always willing to work with the customer.

    Thanks, I plan to upgrade little bits and pieces of the computer as time passes, so I went with a more powerful psu just to play it safe. I'll wait to make the purchase in case anyone else has anything to say about this. :)

    Oh great, hopefully they'll be cooperative. Thanks for the idea.


    Edit: I can't call until Monday, service hours are only Mon-Fri. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

    So are we certain that the problem is the psu? Just to clarify, every fan spins when I turn the computer on with the graphics card inserted to the mobo. The power button will turn the computer on but cannot turn it off.

    I'm also debating whether to buy the new psu tonight (with one day shipping it would be here faster, and I am really anxious to get this all working) and ask them about sending the original back tomorrow, or just buying tomorrow.

    What do you guys think? :P

    EDIT: I just read the max TDP on my cpu is 65 w. Not sure if this affects what we believe to be the issue.

    Alright guys, sorry for so many posts, but it's decision time. If we all agree that this really is the fault of the psu, I'll call newegg right now to return the other one. Thoughts?
