Don't use a TR2. It's an older model, and it wasn't all that good when it was new.

Please try a 550 watt EVGA SuperNOVA G2/P2/T2, Corsair RM/RMi/RMx, or Cooler Master V550.

Yes, you're right it is old.
I will upgrade for a 650W but I'm thinking in a Antec 650W ACTIVE FP VP650P, what is the difference between +80 Bronze, Gold, Platinum and all the other kinds of PSU extensions ?

1. That Antec power supply is not the greatest either. I have made suggestions above, but I will update them below.

2. The 80+ certifications are efficiency ratings. Bronze being the lowest (but still good), Silver being better than Bronze, Gold being better than Silver and most common, Platinum being better than Gold (very good), and Titanium being the best. I Titanium rated power supply pulls almost no more power from the wall than the computer is using internally.

Here are my 650W recommendations. The EVGA SuperNOVA G2 is the cheapest and is a good unit, the SuperNOVA P2 is the highest efficiency, but the Corsair RM650x comes with a ten year warranty. I would get the RM650x, but that's up to you.
