Hi all,
I am upgrading my computer (Mobo & CPU) and wanted your advise on whether my current power supply will be compatible. My current power supply is the ETASIS ET850 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817608007). On paper it looks that it will be compatible but I wanted to check as this will be my first ever build.

I've had the power supply for about 5 years now with absolutely no issues.

I plan to build:

Motherboard:
Asrock Z87 Extreme 4

CPU:
i5 4690k

CPU cooler:
Noctua NH-D14

Gcard:
GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost 2GB

RAM:
2x 4GB (DDR3)

Thanks,

Technically your current PSU have plenty of wattage & current which looks good and compatible for the new system but it too risky by having new OC'ed CPU with 5 years old PSU which also not modular and non-certified 80+ means it low quality. Again it too risky.

I was afraid you would say that! it's just that I am working on a budget and thought I could save there. I had bought a top of the range model back then to allow for some degree of future proofing.
Smorizio, you mention low voltage output, how much would that be? My current power supply gives:
100 - 240 V 47 - 63 Hz
+3.3V@28A,+5V@30A,+12V1@18A,+12V2@18A,+12V3@18A, +12V4@18A,-12V@0.5A,+5VSB@3.0A

Thanks
