PSU fried my first PC

This should be normal knowledge. Don't cheap on the PSU. Don't swap cables, do not treat your main source of power like shit. Literally, EVER. The price tag at Frys/Microcenter/Best Buy is enticing, I get it. Don't. It's amazing the amount of people I have come across who try to squeeze a buck on the PSU always are full of regret at the end of the day. As the old saying goes. "If you purchase a Diablotek PSU, you troubleshot your computer and decided it was a PSU before buying the product" Always test the PSU first. Always. I cannot stress this enough. Buying your PSU and immediately throwing it on also new products, thats a negative ghostrider. I feel for OP. However, everyone has done it once.
