Which PSU would you recommend me for 50$ ? Where I live those are the available PSU in my price range. Corsair Builder Series CX430 Super Flower SF-550P12XP 550W Super Flower SF-550K12XP v2 550W FSP HYPER 500W Well, I changed my mind and I probably ain't gonna buy that Sirtec anymore. Instead I would've think of Corsair Builder Series CX430 -> http://www.corsair.com/en/cx430-80-plus-bronze-certified-power-supply What do you think about it ? Could the CX430 handle it without any problem? the system is being used mostly for gaming(not the most demanding games out there) (usually I spend like 5-6 hours playing games) Is the PSU better than any of the above and if it isn't which one from the above list should I buy ? Full PC Specs (might not be the best CPU ever, but still gets the job done in one way or another);   I put the specs here so you guys can make an idea if the CX430 would be enough for it.
I checked if my HDD could support GPT, but seems like it only supports MBR, is it fine if I would go MBR UEFI partition scheme ? Edited by sleepyhead - 21 Feb 2017 at 12:06pm |

I'm sorry, but that PSU does not belong in ANY modern PC!
 The maximum rated wattage of the +12V rail is 216W +12V @ 18Amps), which is shared with the CPU, mother board, and video card. The power distribution of the +12V +5V and +3.3V rails (18A, 30A, 20A respectively) is the kind used when the +5V rail was used for the CPU, over 10 years ago. Why are PSUs like this still being sold? Is there any chance in the world this PSU would support the Intel C7 C State low power load on the +12V rail? I hope you have case fans and fans on the CPU cooler to keep the +12V rail loaded, otherwise the +12V rail will go out of ATX specification. Of course, that assumes this PSU even has OVP, which I doubt. An obsolete design for a modern mother board, CPU, and video card. Notice the "P4" in the model name. That means the old Pentium 4 Intel processors. Introduced in 2000, they were 32 bit CPUs until an upgrade to 64 bit in 2004. Last P4 model was released in 2006. Also, 1.5VA on the 5VSB rail?!?!  The PSU is the heart of any PC. If the electrical power supplied to the other hardware is not of good quality, every aspect of the PC's performance will suffer. Plus the quality of the build of this PSU must be terrible, I can only imagine how bad the voltage regulation, ripple suppression, efficiency, etc is. I would be afraid to use it in any PC I owned. Sirtec as a brand of PSU is one I would never consider even looking at, much less using. Please spend at least $50 on a PSU, which is just enough for one of decent quality. I have fans that cost more than that Sirtec PSU. |

GPT
The Corsair would probably be the better bet.

Yeah that's what I plan to do with it, Toss it into the garbage. But would Sirtec - High Power EP-500BR II do its job? Are there any other decent PSU's in the 45-50$ price range? How about a Corsair NEW VS Series VS550 or Super Flower SF-550K12XP v2 550W ? Edit: I'm trying to make a Windows 7 bootable USB Stick and I don't know what to choose between these that would eventually boot with my new GPU without disabling CSM in the bios using the old GPU.

Considering, I would pull the battery and jumper the CLRCMOS1 for 1min. The re-jump CLRCMOS1 and then insert the battery.
Accomplice? If it is not the outright cause of your issues I will be amazed. Yea. Toss that Delux one in the garbage. |

Post back once you have the new PSU, it is one of the things I was going to inquire about/suggest you replace.

I forgot to mention that while I get the black screen when I do boot with CSM Enabled, the RX 460 fan's keep spinning, but when I disable CSM and it eventually boot "properly" the fan's are going automatically into idle mode.
