So I've come to that time a year where I'm thinking about a little upgrade for my PC.
It is about 2~3 years old now.

Now I just wonder if I could upgrade a bit, and if my PSU would be able to handle it.. So this is what my build would look like

HAF 920
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
GTX MSI 760 x2
1 7200 RPM HDD
Noctua DH-14
i5 2500k
1 corsair Force series 3 60gb
1 Samsung 840 250 GB
DVD-drive
16 GB DDR3 ram (4x4x4x4)
Approxmatly 8~10 USB slots in use at all time
750 Watt PSU (Bronze, approx 2~3 years old) <-- Would it be able to handle it?

It should, although that is assuming it's a quality PSU from a top tier company such as Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (except their CX series) or Antec just to name a few. Why 16 GB RAM? That is definitely overkill for gaming needs.

My current PSU is a Corsair I believe (I can't actually check due to I'm on my Mac in Ireland, and I live in Denmark)
The reason I got 16gb ram is because I used to have BSODs daily, when I wrote on a forum they 5/20 said it probably was my RAM, Memtest showed nothing was wrong, another pair 4 gigs each costed 50 euro, so took my chance and bought another pair, unfortunately that wasn't the case, and I just plugged all 4 sticks in and ended up with 16. :D

Thanks for the quick answer, and I will check when I get home. :)
