Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my power supply unit (PSU) because my PC keeps shutting off during gaming sessions. I'm a bit of a newbie, and it gets frustrating. Currently, I have a MSI SFX 10Pin 500W HPD 500M. Here's a quick rundown of my system specs:
- **Processor**: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F
- **GPU**: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060
- **Motherboard**: MS-B9241
- **RAM**: 32 GB DDR4
I'd love to upgrade to an RTX 4070 Super down the line, and I'm aiming for stable 90 fps on my games. Any recommendations on how to choose the right PSU for my setup would be super helpful!

I suggest going for a decent 750W modular PSU. It's a solid option for your setup, and definitely check out the PSU tier list to find something reliable!
The PSU you’re looking at might be overkill for your current build. A 750W version works perfectly alongside a 9070XT, but for now, that 1000W PSU might be more than you need.
Got it, I’ll definitely consider that! Thanks for the heads up!
Since you have an SFX form factor PSU, consider upgrading to a high-quality 650W or 750W unit with 80+ Gold certification. It'll match well with your upcoming graphics card upgrades without any issues!
Thanks, I'll look into 650W options! I want to ensure it handles my future GPU upgrades well.
A 750W fully modular PSU would be great. Check the tier list thoroughly; aim for at least a B tier unit. Some of the best brands include MSI, Corsair, and Enermax.
Cool, I’ll make sure to check the tier list before I buy. I’ve also seen an A+ Corsair PSU at the store—can I link it for you to see if it fits?
Thanks for the tip! I found a PSU listed on the tier list that's sold at my local computer store. Do you think this one would work for my setup?
