Had to pick between a new SSD or a bigger PSU today

I was working on a client's gaming rig that kept crashing under load. Their old 500W PSU was struggling with a new graphics card, but their 240GB SSD was also almost full. I could only sell them one upgrade this month. I went with the 1TB SSD, swapped it in, and moved Windows over. The crashes are still happening, so I gotta call them back about the PSU next week. Anyone else ever pick storage over power and regret it?

eh, is it really that serious though? half the time people blame the PSU first when it could be thermal throttling or a driver issue. i'd have kept the old SSD and just uninstalled games until i could afford both, but that's just me.

@wyatt_green31 aren't you worried about a cheap PSU killing the whole build though?
