Hey, I've got $80 and i'm wondering what to blow it on. I've been thinking of getting a Samsung 512mb PC3200 for $60 to increase my ram to 1gb. But i've also been thinking about my 300W generic powerbox. I'm thinkning of upgrading it to a Coolermaster Extreme 430W Silent. Heres my prob i dont know what to buy. So im hoping i can get some advice from you guys.

Thanks In Advance

If you plan to upgrade you system, eg new gfx card or cpu then a new PSU is in order, if all you are going to do for a while is put in some more ram, stick with the ram you wont see performance increase from a better psu ou will from new ram.

thanks but im just wondering because my friend said that generic psu's can blow and take your pc with it. so would it be safer to get a new psu. i.e a superflower

[warriorscot]

Never heard of a superflower before, what he says is true however if its been running fine for a long time it should be ok its generally when you first get them problems appear with generics.

ahh ok so ram it is because i've had the pc for around 6 months and i believe the previous owner had it for a couple of years
