I am wondering about my rig and its power supply. Admittedly I have never quite placed much importance on the power supply I have. Currently I have the first release of the Corsair TX750. From what I know it is Bronze certified.
What would the (symptoms?) be if the power supply was not quite up to snuff with the hardware and power demands. Would things feel laggy, or would the computer be unstable in any way? Or would components simply not work because the power isn't there.
I am thinking about upgrading to a newer power supply, but am not sure if it is really required and I'm just spending the cash for nothing. Something like a 850 watt and with Silver certification is what I am looking at.
I've used those online power supply calculators and some say I'm within an acceptable range, then others are recommending over 800 watts.
