Hello,
So my 2nd PC that I mainly use for watching movies/football on the big TV in living room requires a PSU upgrade. The original PSU, a CiT Pemtium 500u, has seemingly died (began making crackling/hissing sounds and won't power the motherboard any more) and I now need to replace the PSU with another.
The issue is I am not sure what PSUs will fit the case. The case is a CiT 1017. The main specs of the machine are as follows:
CPU: Intel i5 6600K
Cooler: Cryorig M9i
RAM: Corsair LPX 8GB 3000MHz
Motherboard: AsRock Z170 Extreme4
GPU: EVGA 1050Ti 4GB SC
I've found a potential replacement I'd like to buy for this PC. It is the Corsair CX550. [link|https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CJRVGGPS/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_2?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1|It's currently £48 on Amazon UK|new_window=true]. Would this PSU fit the CiT 1017 case? If not, what are my options? I don't really want to spend too much on this as it only needs a new PSU. I don't feel like upgrading the case as it would just add additional costs.
