The PSU is still not something you can skimp on though. Buy a cheap CPU, your computer will run a bit slower. Buy a cheap GPU and you won't be able to run as many games. Buy a cheap PSU and your computer will kick the bucket after about a year, at least in my experience.
This is from my experience of upgrading to more powerful GPUs with cheap 500W PSUs which have died on me (not immediately, but rather quickly after), even though they were well above the wattage needed. |
I know they lose power by age but they don't break every often. And even if it would break why not just buy a new one?

Isn't that kinda backward. My point was it's worth spending the money on a decent PSU that'll last so you don't have to buy a new one later down the line because its broken or because you want to upgrade. Especially if you're on a budget, not having to spend extra money on a new PSU (because you splurged initially) frees up money for that new video card.

Your right. It's also a big pain to switch PSUs if the case is small.
