I am trying to build a budget gaming PC and was wondering if using an old PSU would work and if it would be safe. The PSU is an OKIA-420ATX and this is my PC build (minus the power supply): https://pcpartpicker.com/user/dclott/saved/qFfCbv
[SOLVED] Can I use a 10-15 year old PSU for my new gaming PC?

Buy a new PSU.
And while I completely understand the "budget" thing...the drives you've chosen are substantially substandard.
The 2 drives you've chosen:
120GB + 500GB = 620GB @ 44.
Top end 500GB SSD = $70

$26 for vastly better performance.

Don't use it, it is not safe. If it is even compatible with your parts it will almost definitely break in the next few years. If it breaks it could destroy the rest of your components.
