As well as provide your power usage from your components:
PSU CalculatorWhat's wrong with the PSU you have now?Hi Sorry about the lack of details.


Here's what the psu looks like: http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fx6800-3_slashgear.jpg So I'm going to say the second one. It was a factory default psu so I never LOOKED at it...


The power supply is not only low but it is the incorrect type for the motherboard. The motherboard needs an 8 pin connector to be powered correctly, however the PSU is only a 4 pin. Four of the eight pins on the motherboard are left empty. Furthermore Gateway advertises it as 500w but it is really 450 watts, with a max output of 500watts for no longer then 17 seconds. (this is printed on the PSU’s sticker). QUOTE from: PChelpp on May 30, 2010, 06:40:14 PM

Would I still need to contact them if I bought it from an online retailer like newegg?

I meant that I had bought the PC from an online retailer, so would I contact the retailer, or Gateway? ALSO, could I do this for the GPU as well?
