Well the Gremlins have struck again. Fired up my gaming PC this morning and I get Electrical arch followed by smoke. That lovely tube smoke of a nuked power supply. If its not one thing its another. So I get paid in 5 days. Looks like Im gonna be buying a PSU next. Just had to buy a new GPU last month. Apparently my PC is saying it wants an upgrade once a month.

Wow... harsh...

I know right? And it wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't just spent $230 on a video card last month. And a Power supply is another one of those things you can't just skimp on and get a cheap one. You have to get a decent one. Which means its gonna cost at least $100 bucks. Suckage!

Ok So here I am again. My Gaming Rig is fully "unsmoked". Got a brand new power supply. Went with the Corsair RM 850. Hopefully that will be enuff to power this:

Motherboard: MSI z97 Gaming 7
CPU: Intel Core I5 4690K
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 960 4g Gaming + EVGA GTX 550 2Gb To render Physx
RAM: Corsair 8gigs
Boot: Samsung 850 250gb SSD
Storage: WD Black 1TB
WD Scorpio Blue 500Gb
And about 6 other smaller Harddrives

Anyone think that won't be enuff. I also have a light bar which shouldn't take up that many watts. Also thinking about getting the H100i CPU cooler. Right now I'm just running the stocker that came with the I5.
