Recently came to the forums in search of advice for a graphics card upgrade. The result was a slew of fantastic suggestions that led me to the purchase of a XFX 7850 2gb double d I absolutely love. Now I return looking for power supply upgrade advice. Currently I'm using a Dell 525w psu. My motherboard is a micro atx (I want to note that while I'm learning about PC building, I still consider myself amateur at best) so I don't think I can get much more in the way of power, but it's more an upgrade of quality. What would you guys/gals suggest?

It's been a while since I looked at parts but when I was the advice I got was not to skimp on a PSU. Go for a well known reliable brand even if it costs you a little extra. Reliability is key. Beyond that I can't really offer much sorry :/

Corsair HX 750.

Probably one of the absolute best PSU's on the market. Plus it's 80 Plus Gold certified so it's incredibly efficient.

I third that statement. I've been highly satisfied with mine. Worth every damn penny.

Can't go wrong with a good Corsair PSU.
