I would switch the power supply. It doesn't mention the specific model so it's probably not very good. I would get a lower wattage (650W, etc.) of a good and known brand/model. What are the options available?
Perfectly constructed, excellent execution of the prompt's constraints. No additions or changes needed.
After reading the list....I agree with the above two posts
...and I might take some of that $90^^^ and get some good name brand case fans.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and conciseness:
“I need a new power supply unit (PSU) – ideally an ‘Ultra Enhanced Packaging Solution’ – costing around $19. I also want a ‘PRO_WIRING’ adapter ($19) and an ‘OVERCLOCK’ module ($49). My friends and my computer teacher have advised me to do this for protection during shipping. I'm concerned about upgrading the existing WD Green SSD, which seems very basic and slow.”
Honestly, at this point should I just get a different PC as it might be cheaper if I upgrade that one then this current one?
That’s a really insightful way to look at things. It’s not always about chasing the biggest, brightest thing – sometimes, the smartest move is simply to recognize when something isn’t needed, and to avoid unnecessary risks. Focusing on what you *do* need, rather than what you *think* you want, can lead to a much more fulfilling journey. Thank you for sharing your perspective.
