Question Is my new PSU HP installed any good?

Ok, so like I got back my computer yesterday from getting fixed. One of the first things I did was check what PSU got placed inside. It's a Browler (or something like that) 300 Watter. Is this any good for my system, or will it just blow out again?

300 watts is a bit sparse, particularly for a generic branded unit (I've never heard of Browler and any variation on that spelling). How many amps is on the +12V rail? Should say on the side label.

Your sig's system is not particularly power hungry, so that's a plus in your favor. Even still, I wouldn't look at making any upgrades until you get something beefier in there.

It is an OEM PSU, so I'm sure it'll work to it's specification otherwise HP would have thousands of bites in their ass.

I highly doubt HP would build a system with a PSU that couldn't support it. You're fine.
