I recently bought an 8700k, Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 and 16GB of G.Skill DDR4 to upgrade from my old Haswell i5 4670k. I kept my GTX 1080, 2x Samsung 850 Evos, Kraken x62 AIO cooler and the power supply I was using, a Corsair CS650M. So the CS650M isn't the greatest PSU, but it's been running with my new hardware without any issues. If I don't plan on overclocking soon, would you guys recommend keeping the CS650M or upgrading to something better? I don't seem to notice any performance or power issues at the moment.

PSU's components deteriorate over time. You have a nice high end system running a fairly low end PSU with basic safety features. Personally Id never use that psu in a gaming pc. I would be much happier with a known high quality psu with good warranty and safety features.

Just installed a Corsair RM650i to replace it.
