Should I replace my PSU?

[Chalken]

I bought my first pc in 2012 or so. Since then, I've replaced almost all of it, only the PSU and HDDs remain. Some of my components:

 

* Ryzen 5 3600

* M.2 Nvme ssd

*2xSATA HDDs

* 2x8GB DRR4 3000MHz

* B450 Asus prime-k mATX

* To at least give me video output, I have an ancient gpu running (from 2006) until I get a new one. I'm looking at new gtx 1660 supers. 

* And the part I'm asking about, the PSU. It's an OCZ CXS500W CoreXStream.

 

That PSU was bought around 2012 and it has served me well. However, I'm worried that it might die any moment and damage other components. Though it says it has "Heavy-duty protection circuitry including over-voltage, over-power, and short circuit" 

Also, a MTBF of 100,000 hours. 

 

Since I'll be getting a new gpu, I don't have a high budget. Should I still keep it for some time? I've been looking at corsair cx450m and cx550m, but the latter is a bit pricey.

for the corsair CX Series I would actually recommend getting the non-modular versions instead. They are cheaper and actually built with slightly better parts than the modular ones.

 

A quick search for your current PSU with not much results doesn't inspire much confidence. I would recommend replacing it when you can comfortably afford it.

Looking at online retailers in my country, only one has a non-modular cx450, but it's sold out and the cx550 non-modular ones are a few euros more expensive than the semi-modular.

 

Do you perhaps have other modestly priced PSUs to recommend? And do you think 450w would be enough for my current build and perhaps for future upgrades to xx60 or xx50 series gpus?

 

I might still keep it for a few months, or as you say, until I can afford a new one, since it has served me so long.

 

By the way, what do you think is the likelihood of the PSU of this age damaging other components?

 

 

 

I'm looking at the PSU tier list and trying to find the best price to quality ratio. How are these PSUs?

 

*Cooler Master MWE 550 BRONZE - V2 (50 eur), MWE 600 WHITE - V2 (49eur), COOLER MASTER MWE Bronze 700W V2 (61eur). These are in the B tier and I'm leaning towards one of these.

 

*Be quiet! System Power B9 - 600W (63eur);

 

*Be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W (69eur);

 

*Seasonic S12III 550w (60eur), 650w (64eur);

 

*Corsair CX450M (63 eur), cx550m (77eur, some sites are 72eur.)
