Hello
I have a 5-6 year old 850w thermaltake toughpower psu(http://support.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1432&ID=1509#Tab3)
And i am wondering if it would be good enough to upgrade to haswell-e 5930k and 770sli.

Current system:
Intel core2quad
4gb ddr2 800mhz
G31tm-p21 lga 775 motherboard
Thermaltake toughpower cable management 850w
Single gtx 770
Msi dvd drive
Seagate barracuda 1TB
Noctua nh-u12p se2
Zalman Z machine gt1000

Thank you for any reply


PS: i'm not gonna overclock

It should work but that is again a lot of power, I'd look into getting a new one. It should run your CPU and SLI770 but I'm not sure if it will successfully deliver the needed power to run those at 100%. With Capacitor Aging in account your psu might not support it. Also nice I wish I could afford the 5930k lol

I would suggest against Thermaltake PSUs as they're of low quality, and as Andrei said, caps aging are to be taken in effect.
I would suggest:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($104.99 @ NCIX US)
Total: $104.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

It has an awesome 10 YEAR WARRANTY, so you won't have to replace it for 10 years.
