PCP&P Silencer 750 quad red ok for new build?

I bought a PC Power & Cooling 750 Silencer (red case) Quad power supply for my last build years ago. I wanted something I could use on my next build in the future. Question is this PSU and number of connectors still adequate for todays newer Z77 motherboards and new peripherals? I do not plan on overclocking or dual video cards. The sticker on it says 80plus but I'm not sure how that rates to the new 80 bronze, silver , gold ratings.

What's the general consensus this thing has been rock solid for years.

I have a 250W Delta PSU that came with my Acer M1100 PC which should be at least 5 years of age. It is still doing its job now, being repurposed for a PC that my parents use which has a Pentium G620. As they say, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
 
i have a 750 silencer also that is working just fine (bought for q6600 build, works in 2500k build). i presume you're just interested in the cpu power connectors and the pcie 6 or 8 pin connectors.
 
My original PCP&P Silencer 750 quad is in a old i7 930@ 4200 it also ran with tri 5870s for 9 months without any problems at all.

When I built my ib pc I bought a PCP&P Silencer2 750 for it.
 
Still running the exact same PS I purchased in 2007 for my Core 2 Duo E6600 build. I've had 9800 GT x 2 in SLI along with a GT 240 PhysX card although now its only powering a single GTX 460 768.
 
Thanks guys for the responses. I was planning on getting an i5 3750K CPU with a Z77 chipset mobo so from what I gather it should work fine. Not going to use SLI or crossfire at the moment.
