Let's just say it's about time to replace it.

 

Granted, it's probably worked fine so far because it's on quite a low load with that setup, but expect trouble if you put more heavy duty gear in your rig.

The Corsair CXM is usually my go to recommendation, it's solid and will do the job for your rig even at 450 watts. 550 watts would do if you plan to expand a lot.

 

Check out the Bitfenix Formula gold if you want to spend a little extra, it goes a long way.

The green label units from the old days are crap, the grey labels which are updated models are solid.

That one takes me to an error 404 page but as long as it has the grey label and not green it's good to go

Actually, the green label CX from days past were only about as good as the S12/M12.  But because they did not say "Seasonic" on the label, they were shunned into obscurity.

when you make and sell crap but it still sells because of brand power. no wander seasonic never had to bother replacing their S/M12 series PSUs...

When the RMA rate was less than 1% but you sold 100 times more than Seasonic but that meant you had 100 times more negative reviews, then no wonder you had to upgrade the product.

 

Learn to understand the products that you're shitting on before you shit on them.  This forum is a fuck fest of ignorance.

You're expecting that, from a website that's basically run by edgy teenagers, who think they know everything, and expect them to not be a fuck head? That's a bit much tbh.
