I'm looking at a new build in the next few months
(uk based - so budget is tricky to translate but quite a decent gaming PC - having looked at a few build threads probably about $1500 if i bought everything new - SSD etc etc)
However I have an Antec P182 with a good 550w corsair modular PSU in, i've had it since 2008 and its seen some decent use (has a Core2 Duo E8400 + Nvidia 8800 GT)
Would you suggest always buying a new PSU for a new rig or is it ok to reuse them? do they have a lifespan?
edit:
found the details of the PSU:
"Corsair HX Series 520W Modular PSU"
