So I have a color duo r9 270 gpu, msi 970a 43g mobo, and a vishera 8320 3.5-4.0 ghz cpu with one 140mm top case fan, and 6 regular 120mm case fans, with a blu ray player and wanted to know if the discontinued antec ea 650 psu would work on this build, I don't know how old this psu is because I got it from an old pc and it seems to work just abit dusty and is a lot more silent compared to my current psu I've only had for about 1 month and wanted to know if this would work with my build safely and if I'm risking anything thanks all help is appreciated

Yes and 500W is what is needed for the R9 270. And when you overclock maybe your system will use 600W.

Yes if it is a high quality PSU and have not been maybe 3 years or more old. And make sure you know this person well who you are buying it from as you don't want to get it from someone you barely know. And later the whole system is gone. But this is a choice for you to make but not me. I would personally get a new one to be honest here as the PSU is like the heart and the vital part to keep the system moving or it will be dead.

I am not able to give you an answer for the chances but there is a chance but I am not too sure.

Can i change out the fan on my other psu with 3 pin 120 mm it would fit so i would just run the the 3pin wire out the hole where the psu wires come out and connect it to my mobo, is that smart or just stupidly dangerous would it works cause i just want a silent psu
