Some basic 120GB SSSD, nothing special or fancy.
Want to keep GTX 650 for a while (i know it will bottleneck but it will get upgraded later) and 1 TB HDD. The question is: should I power it with a PSU this old? Well it works fine for now but who knows if it will later. Also i don't want to do any OC. I can open the PSU and check if there are any signs of wear off, cap leakages or sth. But still, do you think it will be safe to use? It have all cables I need for modern builds: ATX 20+4 pin, 12v CPU 4 pin, PCIe 6 pin, some molex and SATA cables.
grab a corsair CX/M, be quiet system power 9 or xilence performance A+, 2200G+B350/450 Pro4+3000mhz ram kit and sell off the gtx 650.
