    I will offer up the below and then leave you with it, no point in me hanging around when you are not taking onboard what has been advised

    Your computer to do with as you see fit and for our part we have advised you that you need an appropriate PSU, the PSU was manufactured ten years ago and even if you only purchased it five years ago as has already been advised the PSU is years out of warranty.

    Corsair do make some good PSUs but they must be used for what Corsair say that they are good enough for, the below is what Corsair advised here the type of use that their CS Gold range of PSU be used for.
    CS Series™ Modular power supplies are ideal for[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] basic desktop systems where low energy use, low noise, and simple installation are essential.

    Note the word basic, your PC is anything but basic and the proof that even an out of the box new CS 650M would not be appropriate is the recommended use + the miserly three year warranty, any gaming rig must have a PSU that has a minimum of a seven year warranty period with a ten year warranty being more preferable.

    It is the card manufacturer that is expected to honour any warranty should the card break, not a PSU calculator or some faceless person on the internet that says that it is ok to ignore any minimum PSU requirements specified by the GPU manufacturer.

    MSI say here a minimum of a 500W PSU so that blows the quoted 360W right out of the water, the info in your pic also recommends a junk PSU that should not be used anywhere near any add on GPU, the recommended PSU is in fact so bad that it is rated as – Tier F • Replace immediately

    Fwiw, the GPU needs to be tested using an appropriate spec of PSU, you will not know if the weak PSU has damaged the video card if you don`t.

    In addition to the above, the CPU is not on the AMD support list as it does not meet the minimum platform or security requirements.[/COLOR]
