Hello everyone,
I am very excited because in a few weeks I am going to buy and build my own new pc.It's the first time that I will build a pc and because I couldn't afford bying a whole new one I will keep some old components(case,PSU,HDD).They only concern that I have is about my PSU: http://prntscr.com/bdupke .It was bought back in February 2010 and I am not sure if it will work well In a new pc.All these 6.5 years it never showed any kind of problem and its still working on my old pc(955 phenom II,ATI Radeon 5850,1 HDD).I went to PSU calculator and the new pc I am going to buy is going to need nearly 520 Watts.They purpose of this thread is:
1)Does it have any sort of certification about it's efficiency?you know 80 plus,80 plus silver etc.
2)Will it show any problems in a pc with new components? such as new graphics card,new CPU etc

Thanks in advance guys.

It's hard to tell from the image if it is a Xilence A series, Performance C or something else. If it is an A series, it is listed as a Tier 3 PSU (link below). Definition of Tier 3: Tier Three: Some Haswell compatible, some not (maybe unconfirmed). Still safe to use and stable, just lower quality components. Not really ideal in serious overclocking or super-high load situations, such as a Bitcoin mining rig or a high end gaming system.

If it is a Performance C, it is currently un-tiered.

I always try to go for psu's on the Tier 1 or 2 part of the list.

I suspect it is not either of the above, and is from a cheaper range of the Xilence product line. If it had 80+ certification, there would be an 80+ logo on the product.
