Hello, this is my first discussion so i’m prolly violating a thing or two unconsciously whilst writing in this very forum.

 

So i’m currently getting a new PSU, which is written on the the title, the Corsair CX550M (Grey Model) for my current RIG: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XTQ3RT

 

Got me thinking that i got a very old mobo and cpu, should i were to upgrade it next year around, judging that i’ll be taking maybe i7 9700 (8700 as alternative) for intel based or Ryzen 5 3600 for AMD based, will the Corsair CX550M still a choice or i should change my PSU too in the future?

 

this is the part link for Intel Base:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bBj2rr

 

this one’s for AMD Base:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jdHzZZ

 

 

and optionally, i’m also planning on getting an RTX 2060 after getting a new CPU, does the PSU will still hold the system aswell?

 

thanks in advance!
