Hi so I have a custom Alienware Area-51 Legacy. Not sure what it has honestly, I got it for $100 from a kid who said it would die randomly. I bought it because why not, it has some pieces I can reuse if worse goes to worse. Anyway I talked to Alienware support and they said that I need a new PSU to replace my old one since that was the problem of the random shut downs. The current PSU is a SilverStone 650W. I will link it... what I am asking is what would be the best (yet inexpensive) replacement I can get and where should I get it from? Thank you very much

What are the complete specs of that system, so we know what sort of power supply you'll need.

Knowing what kind of budget you have for the new PSU would be good so we know what you can afford.
