Hello,
I have a new build as follows: (http://pcpartpicker.com/list/86FWNG)
Msi z170 A pc mate M0b0 (24 pin connector)
i5 6600 cpu
2x8 16 gb ddr 4 2133 mhz ram
850 evo ssd
No Graphics card. Planning to get one next year along with a new PSU that can go with it. Partpicker rates the wattage at 156, let's say it can go up to 250 under load (maybe more ? less ? not really educated on this matter). Meanwhile though, I'd like to keep the other hardware in one piece.
And the crux of the matter; my psu: Thermaltake XP550 PP 430W (W0095)
https://market.yandex.ru/product/1618252/spec?hid=857707&track=char
Not Russian, but for some reason only shows up on Russian sites on a search. I'm guessing it was a market specific product that somehow ended up in my case. It's an old PSU (at least 9 years) that has seen intermittent use. Back in the day I would've put thermaltake stuff in a system with my eyes closed, but I'm not so sure whether it's a good idea to couple it with the new components now.
And to make matters even more complicated (at least for my level of knowledge) it does not have a 24 pin connector, but a 20+4 pin as seen in the picture below. I would like to have a stable system with no reliability issues. If this is in any shape or form a hindrance, please let me know, and why. If it's not, I'd rather keep it and spend the cash on a mid to high quality PSU next year.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has a look or posts
