Old PSU, it is enough?

[joselrl]

So, I desmantled a old computer (10 years or so) before making my new PC, everything was trash except the PSU that was replaced more recently

The PSU is this one: http://www.extreme-computers.ro/Detalii/NOX-Urano-600--AT-600P12P---PSU-/

600W, not 80+ (<72%) with 38 amps on the 12V (by my math atleast) with all connection I need for the new RIG (2 SATAS and 2 6+2 PCIE pins).

The new PC will have a 4790k and a g1 Gaming gtx 970,

So, do you think it's safe to go with this one and use the budget somewhere else (monitor most likely) or buy a new PSU?

It'll be cutting close but I think it'll work.

 

Don't overclock though.

Replace it with something HQ from EVGA or Antec, That NOX is a cheap chinese PSU.

[Lolzious]

For sure you'll want a new PSU. That will only last a few months before possibly destroying your entire rig. Never cheap out on the power supply, especially in high end builds like yours.

 

Try for a Seasonic, EVGA, XFX, or Corsair AX series power supply.

EVGA do really nice power supplies. So do Corsair. 

 

I'm going to be purchasing a Corsair one for my new build

 

It's cheap but it'll do the job but I still suggest you update it.

As said above.. don't cheap out on the PSU.. Though thats not to say that you have to spend a fortune.. Go to jonny guru and check out professional reviews of anything your thinking of getting... Super Flower have some excelent units at the moment.

 

Though I do like that if a corsair blows and damages the system they will cover at least some of the costs involved in replacing it where they are not (as far as I know) any way legally obliged to.

So, Is this one good enough? http://www.corsair.com/pt-pt/vs-seriestm-vs550-550-watt-power-supply

 

550W, 42A on 12V, 80+ (white)

Yes, that should work fine for a single GPU system like yours.

I'd personally look to 650w units for the sake of later expansion, but 550w should be fine for you.

 

I wouldn't put that old PSU you have to work powering anything I cared about.

Thanks guys, I will get the corsair then, I'll stick with the 550W as I don't fancy SLI configs. Preffer the stability of a single card

I wouldn't get the Corsair VS. Their lowest end model and mediocre at best.
