Hello, I've been using this setup for about 6 years now

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Sp1d

I am switching to this

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/677ZPn


should i buy a new psu as well or will this psu just keep on going? i dont know about lifespan and if hooking all this new stuff will affect it.

and if i need a new one, suggestions?

Thank you

Something like this...

I realize you don't NEED the wattage... today... but sooner or later the one you have will die. Best to have another handy.
Also, you may add more fans, hdds, vid card etc. So a few extra watts won't hurt.


/e If you're NOT living paycheck to paycheck, you could probably wait. The prices on power supplies just went up, due to the stimulus checks probably.
