I have a ~3.5 year old PC Power and Cooling Silencer 610W (EPS12V)
http://www.pcpower.com/power-supply/silencer-610-eps12v.html
Specs from the link:
# EPS12V / NVIDIA® SLI Certified (Dual 7900GTX)
# 80+ Certified (83%); .99 Active PFC
# +12VDC @ 49A (Large Single Rail)
# 24-pin, 8-pin*, 4-pin M/B Connectors
# 2 PCI-E and 15 Drive Connectors
It has the 80+ which is great, I don't plan to use SLI with it. I am just worried that it is old but 610W seems like I have some room to lose some power. Here is what I plan to run with it:
P67 mobo/i5-2500k light OCing (assume stock fan to help gage this)
1 GPU, I know the power consumption varies for GPUs. I currently have a 8800 GTS 320 MB that I will use for about a year and then will swap it our for something in the $150-250 price range.
1 HDD
1 SSD
1 DVD drive
2x2 or 2x4 GB RAM 1.5v stock + light OCing
That's pretty much it. Is it a bad idea to re-use or does this thing still have enough life left to help me out. Also, how can I tell if it has the proper cables for what I need? I assume 24-pin power is still the standard, what about my PCI-e plugs and anything else?
