    So I need a new psu. I want to eventually upgrade my CPU and motherboard and my pc will be used for gaming. Can someone direct me to a good psu please?

      anything with a 10 year warranty indicates the company is prepared to put their money where their name is.
      EVGA, Corsair, SeaSonic to name a few.
      depending on your future needs, aim at something at least 750watts.
      and at least 80+ Gold.

        Corsair RM Series RM750 β€” 750 Watt 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX PSU 2021

        The above for future proofing or the below for the present parts but comes with the risk that it could be too weak should you ever want to upgrade the present GPU, non modular and only has a five year warranty.

        EVGA 600 GD 600W 80+ Gold Non-Modular Power Supply

        Before purchasing a new PSU it is advisable that you measure the dimensions of the present PSU and ensure that the new PSU has the correct power connections for the MB, HDDs, optical drives, FDDs or add on cards such as a video card if one is fitted.

          I thought someone mentioned not to use a corsair psu for gaming, if that is the case, what about the first one you mentioned?

            The below was post some nine days ago which may explain any confusion;

              Oh, I see the difference, that was using a bronze rated psu but you recommended a gold rated psu

                Correct and the longer the warranty period the better, seven year minimum but ten or more better.

                  So is there a psu I should get out or are they all pretty similar?
