hey guys im building my first budget pc and im tryng to save as much money as possible by re-using parts from my old PC, the parts I wanna re-use are gana be my cd/dvd drivers my SATA 500gb HDD. But what im most concerned about is if my PSU can handle my new build...
the PSU i have is this
Cooler Master Real Power 550W (RS-550-ACLY) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171006

and the components I well use are the following

MSI 970A-G46 AM3+ http://www.frys.com/product/7028571

AMD FX-6300 http://www.frys.com/product/7355964

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz DDR3 http://www.frys.com/product/6552683

XFX HD 77501gb ddr5 http://www.nothingbutsoftware.com/Product/210641-FX775AZNJ4-XFX-Radeon-HD-7750-Graphic-Card800-MHz-Core1-GB-DDR5-SDRAMPCI-Express-30-x164500-MHz-Memory-Clock4096-x-2160CrossFireFan-CoolerDirectX-110-DirectCompute-11-OpenGL-42-OpenCL-12HDMIDVIVGA-778656059153?ai=1550&gclid=COqSreyosrgCFe4-Mgod5zsAoA

And if it cant handle it any recommendations? on a new affordable PSU?

The power draw of your system configuration is around 212 Watts.

If the Cooler Master Real Power 550W (RS-550-ACLY) is still in good condition it should have no problem powering that system.

Since that PSU model has got to be at least eight years old I would suspect it is unable to produce the power stated on its label, while still staying within ATX12V specifications, due to capacitor aging.

The Seasonic S12II 620 Bronze, that @SR-71 Blackbird linked to, is a very good deal. It is way more than you currently need but it is ready to handle almost any system upgrade you may want to make in the future.
