Introduction: The Heart of Your Computer
The power supply unit (PSU) is one of the most overlooked components in a PC build. Yet it’s responsible for delivering clean, stable power to every part of your system. A poor-quality PSU can cause crashes, hardware failures, or even permanent damage. At Matrix Shop, we offer reliable power supplies to keep your system running smoothly.
Why the PSU Matters
A good PSU ensures that your expensive components – CPU, GPU, storage, and motherboard – receive the right amount of power. It also affects efficiency, noise levels, and even your electricity bill.
Key reasons to invest in a quality PSU:
-
Stable power delivery prevents random shutdowns
-
Higher efficiency reduces heat and power costs
-
Extra headroom allows for future upgrades

Understanding Wattage and Efficiency
Wattage
Your PSU’s wattage must exceed the total power draw of your system. Add up the requirements of your CPU, GPU, and other components to estimate your needs. It’s wise to choose a PSU with at least 20% more wattage than your current setup for future-proofing.
Efficiency Ratings
Look for 80 Plus certifications, which indicate energy efficiency. More efficient PSUs waste less power as heat and often run quieter.

Suitable for most desktop builds. These offer a good balance of power and affordability.
