Can i use my old 520W PSU wiht new i5 build?

[rileychris]

I have an old OCZ ModStream 520W ATX / BTX PSU. Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104155

I picked up an I5 750 with a EVGA P55 FTW motherboard. Will I be able to uee this powersupply in my new build? I noticed that this baord allows multiple connections from the PSU?

I will be sticking with my old Radeon X800 video card for now, but will be upgrading it to something for robust in the future. I will aslo be running 2 SATA HDs and an SATA DVD drive.

Thanks in advance.

It may or may not be fine for now but when you upgrade that video card you will need a new PSU. That unit claims to offer only 26A on the 12V rail. Compaired to most newer 500W PSU which offer about 32A or better on the 12V rail. Then you factor in the age of the PSU and it will probably act more like a 450W PSU.
