Everytime I see someone with a cheap PSU I cry a little. I mean after all your trusting your whole system on a single component. Though honestly you don't have to necessarily get SeaSonic or Corsair; Rockwell and OCZ are good alternative for budget builds. I know, but like I've already said it was a pre-built and I couldn't control what I got. I was worried about that PSU for a while, and I even planned to get a better one for Christmas, expecting it to fail eventually. Didn't know it would be so soon and happen so savagely...
But then again, even though the inside of it looks screwed up for all we know it could still work and the 670 just randomly failed. I'm not placing my bets on that, but it's a possibility I've considered. Either way, I'll be RMAing the GPU and buying the new PSU sometime tonight. This one if you missed the link before. And regardless of how expensive it is, I know SeaSonic is reliable and I will not be skimping out again on the PSU, I am buying the best.
Get a Corsair TX 650 V2.
You will not be disappointed.
You should check if the other parts work. If you have a spare PSU lying around from an old computer, plug that into your machine which now has no GPU, and see how it runs. There's a chance that the PSU damaged the entire circuit.
Honestly man, this thing comes with zip-ties, it has wire protection and the PSU comes in a drawstring bag.
You see me unable to afford these GTX 670s, and then you break one. This is sad for me.
