Planning on building a new Kaby Lake rig (7700k, Hero IX, single 980Ti) to 'retire' my older 2600k build.  Was just going to put the current PSU, Corsair HX750, in the new build for a year or so until I can find a good deal on a new PSU.  The Corsair hasn't shown any signs of problems whatsoever, it's just getting up there in years (purchased 2011) and has been used in a build that has been on for virtually all of it's lifetime.  

 

Shouldn't be a problem, right?

Yes, HX is a very solid PSU.

Cool, thanks for the prompt responses.  I thought it'd be fine too, but just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.
