sketch af Sun Pro PSU

[Faceless_]

So I opened up my old hand-me-down PC Thinking of upgrading the GPU and found this Sketch AF PSU In the case, under the name 'Sun Pro ATX-550w' I have never heard of the brand.

 

My 2 questions are:

 

1. Should I swap it out with a more well known PSU or continue to push my luck

2. If I was to keep the PSU should I go through with my upgrade of the GPU

 

(Specs-  i7 2600 - AMD hd 6450 1gb - 12 gbs of DDR3 RAM - 60 gb SSD - 1TB Seagate HDD)

I've never heard of it, it's probably safer just to get a new PSU if possible, even if it's fine it probably is not very power efficient at all.

Aren't they the same questions? Well the answer is the same regardless...

You should definitely replace it.
