Power Supply

Your power supply will do exactly that, supply power to your system. You need to be sure that the components that you have in your system have enough power to run effectively. A good rule is to have a power supply that supplies twice as much wattage as you need.

There are three main things that you are looking for in a power supply or "PSU"

  • Wattage, like 850W

  • Rating, like "80 PLUS Gold"

  • Modular or non Modular, can the cords detach or not
