Is it ok to use my PSU (Ultra Power X3)?

BlindGuyPCs

I got this PSU for free about a year ago, and it's still working. Whenever I decide to build my next PC, I'm going to get a new one. My question is whether I should keep this psu until my system dies or upgrade the PSU now in case?

I'm using a 4670k and GTX 1060, not OCing.

God damn that thing is old.

 

When do you plan to get a new one?

I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking once I'm able to get a job after quarantine ends/school ends, so probably 6+ months

However if it's a serious issue that I'm using such an old PSU then I'll get one sooner

No.  To be honest, the X3 1000W was a product I was involved with when I worked for Ultra.  The damn thing is built like a tank.  You should be ok for a while.
