Hey guys. I have been having issues with my PSU and I need to have it replaced. When I try playing games that have higher system requirements my screen sometimes goes black and there is a weird buzzing sound. Read a little on the forum and the most likely problem is a faulty PSU. My system is the following:
CPU: Intel Core i5 - 4460
Motherboard: ASUS H97-Plus
Ram: 4 GB HyperX Fury 4DDR x2
SSD/HDD: 2 SSD , 640GB and 1TB
GPU: Radeon R9 390 Nitro 8
PSU: ThermalTake SmartSE 730W
What PSU do you recommend I get?

Translation tools perform adequately. However, the previous PSU did not match the GPU well—it was a very cheaply assembled group-regulated unit. Thermaltake offers only a few PSUs that are sufficient for pairing with a high-power PSU; the Smart models tend to be among their least reliable, usually old budget Sirfa units with labels and sometimes some RGB added.

As you probably know, local prices won’t be favorable, and the budget options include many mediocre Zalman and Xilence products. This appears to be the most affordable PSU I’d consider for this GPU in the two stores mentioned.

There’s hardly any margin for error, so if you intend to overclock, I’d recommend the Corsair TX or RM 650, which would cost about 20 euros more.

Congratulations on joining the Schengen zone; I hope it positively impacts your country's economy in the future. Most Americans are unaware of how wonderful Croatia is.

Thank you for your response. I'm likely to receive the Corsair TX. Your congratulations and praise mean a lot. Croatia is an amazing place, but it can be tough to live there. 😄
