bad PSU, rosewill is newegg's shit brand.
Just get a 500w corsair or some shit and be done with it if you're going to be getting one. Get a QUALITY one. And don't look at wattage, rails are more important.

I am still using it and it is awesome all the rails are still at the same. I notice no differance from other brands than this one. I had limited money at that time and I plan to stay with it. I like rosewill's heatsyncs and psus (until one fails on me then i will change my mind).
If it fails within 1 year then I'll bitch and complain to rosewill and get a new one. Psh fuck it I say and pitch a bitch till they fix it.

Also, how in the hell is a 550 watt power supply overboard?? It's a bit lacking in features but NOT "overboard.

They use very low quality parts and a PSU is not something to cheap out on. Just because it hasn't died yet, doesn't mean it won't. It's not just a matter if the PSU dies, it's the fact that when PSU's go they generally take other things out with them. Is it worth risking a several hundred dollar build just to save a few bucks up front?
I've fixed a good 50+ systems with PSU failures, and trust me, it's not pretty. Of those systems, every single one of them had a crap PSU (Raidmax, Rosewill, Powmax), and the majority of them had other parts that were killed by the shit PSU. I've never seen a quality PSU die before the end of it's useful life. We even had a cheapo PSU blow up and shoot a piece of hot metal that almost hit one of the other technicians in the face, while simultaneously catching on fire.
Don't do it.

When buying power supplies, look at the weight. Heavier is better. It means they use more heat sinks and generally a higher quality build. This has been true for quite some time.

That's usually the first thing I look at in a PSU is the weight. However, it's harder to judge online because the shipping weight doesn't necessarily tell us much.

Well product weight on most site is listed and if not the manufacturers almost always lists it unless its an extremely cheap brand.
I usually recommend Sparkle power supply's.

God damn quit flaming my parts, I had a limited budget to get all of that (800 dollars) and I didn't want to get a new computer because I didn't want to go through all of it. Ignore my PSU it's fine It's 65 bucks and hell the rails are fine if it frys my mobo then to bad. Quit whelming on my psu I am wondering what to buy with my 315 dollars and not what to REPLACE. So could you help me out or not?

| I'd say you chose a very bad CPU. Intel is proven to have a higher quality. They are more overclock-friendly and they have a very good price.
