I've had this psu for about 2 years now, so far as I know nothing is wrong with it. The power in its old location wasn't grounded however. Should I replace it? It will be powering an E6300 with 2gb of ram, 2 hds and 1 optical drive. Thanks.

EDIT: It's 500w
 
Get something better, it has 5V@40A but a pathetic 12V@19A. All bling no substance.
Use it and you will have gar-oon-teed instability. If not right away...Soon.
Being ungrounded would not harm the PSU.

Shoot! The 400W Enhance ENP-5140GH has 12V@28A. Plan on spending $50~$70 for a good PSU.

You post no video card. So get a Seasonic 380W or 430W or try using the MGE. Their high end units were not that bad.
They are out of business now.
 
Whoops, right now I have an ATI X850 but I plan on moving to an Nvidia 8k series hopefully. I am looking at a PC Power and Cooling ultra quiet 610w psu. Are they worth the extra money?
 
I can not comment on PCP&C, as I have done little reading of their reviews.

A Corsair 520HX would carry that system with ease and the 620HX would give lots of headroom. Read reviews at http://www.jonnyguru.com/ > Reviews.

The Ultra X-Pro 600W is a very good unit. Single 12V rail at 36A. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article708-page1.html
It Froogles at $125 but that will drop in a month because many good units are comming out.

Check out the Silverstone OP650, jonny has a review up on it now. If I wanted a 600 watter, that's the one I'd buy.
If you register at jonny's forum, deadeyedata.com will give another 8% off. Kinda like free shipping+a bit more.
 
You don't need a 500+ watt PSU. 12v power is what is really important in terms of power not total watts. My 360 watt PCP&C Silencer has your 500 watt MGE beat with 21A to give you an example.

If you don't intend on going SLi or Crossfire you'll never need more then a 350-400 watt PSU -- the Enhance ENP-5140GH 400W would be a good choice.
