Upgrading PSU for old system

[duckyand]

I think it's time for my XFX PRO 550W Core Edition to retire. So I am looking for a new PSU. Would SilentiumPC Supremo FM2 do?

 

Specs:

ASUS P8Q77-M

Radeon RX 580

Intel i7-3770 Ivy Bridge

16GB DDR3 RAM

1 SATA SSD & 1 HDD

Xonar sound card

I would go Corsair or EVGA. At the very least review and pick from the forums PSU tier list:

I like the seasonic focus gold line.

Maybe since it's an old PSU that was mediocre quality even on release. Besides, if they are going to upgrade the rest of the system later, the new PSu can be used again.

I'd just leave it in until I upgrade the rest of the system.

I mean, there might be an increase in PSU prices here soon thanks to 80 Plus raising their fees for testing and certification, so it's not a bad idea to buy a new one now anyway.

Yeah this basically. I bought it in 2013 and my computer had different specs back then.
