I'm upgrading my motherboard, ram, and processor (and eventually vid card, sound card, case, HD and SSD.)
I know I need to upgrade my power supply but, I was wondering if my current power supply will still work with the new stuff.

I have a 302 w(Dell N305P-06) power supply right now.
I'm adding GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper M5 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX Intel Motherboard, Intel Core i5-4440 Haswell 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) LGA 1150 84W, and G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM.

Will my old power supply work!?!
I'n upgrading to fix minor issues, and for a more reliable gaming pc (mostly LoL and Steam).

Well speaking from a 5 year old 430w psu the 6450 is holding w/ driver issues and my 750 ti seems like itll be perfect... for now, my psu and motherboard are 5 years old at least. But with a i5 i would at least go for a 500w and that's pushing it, a 600w would be better, 700+ will be future proofing. Corsair, Antec, Seasonic are the top three (not in that order) brands that id buy from.
