Old(er) PS still good for new system?
I'm about to head out and start buying parts for a new system (3570k / Z77) and need to know if the PS from my old system would work on the new on
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817152031
Or should I suck it up and just buy a new one?

You'll be fine. 600W will drive any single modern GPU system easily (including all the top boards short of the multi-die cards, 7990/690/etc). It might even do dual cards but you're stretching it on that.

What do you actually plan on having in your computer? This unit will "work" but it's not a great PSU and depending on how old it is, could be a ticking time bomb. It really comes down to how much you value piece of mind. But to answer your question, it should work.

Low to mid gaming system. One SSD, with a regular drive if needed. Single video card. DVD/ BD drive (maybe). Still have to decide on a video card. My ATI 4830 was old when I got it 4 years ago

Power-wise you'll be fine. Like Temjin said, the age and wear may play a role; if it's been running hot for the last few years it could affect the future usability of it. However I don't think you were taxing it with a 4830 so it should be good for another few years. I would treat it as suspect if anything goes wrong in your system in the future but it's not a priority to change it out.

Dude, it's a Raidmax, get rid of it. Anything -max is crap. CoolMax, RaidMax, PowMax. All crap.
Edit: Well, except for Enermax. They're good.
