Smps - ?

[techtronic]

Modern day Processors seem to be power efficient or atleast thats what they claim.Whenever we buy a SMPS, what factors should it depend so that we buy the perfect one with correct Watts so that not to weep later because of BSODs and untimely shutdowns ?

Well there is no hard and fast rule as to how much powerful PSU you need. Generally you calculate the load of your current config and buy accordingly.Basically, buying a good quality PSU is more important than whats it rated at.

Most cheap PSU's (mercury,iball, frontech etc.) are over-rated. So getting a good branded PSU (Antec,coolermaster,Tagan, corsair etc) will give you the mentioned rated performance. So a thumb rule, get a good branded PSU.
