Time for a new power supply?

[berlin88]

I Have an old 550W Antec True Power 2.0 that I got back in 2006 with one of my previous system upgrades. I am wondering whether or not I should replace it, now that I have been upgrading my system again.

My PSU still works, but is a 550W PSU enough for the hardware I am using? If not, any recommendations? I am thinking a Corsair 700W PSU or perhaps another Antec.


Here is my current system


Antec Super LANBOY (got this way back in 2004)
1 120MM Blue LED Cooler Master fan
1 120MM TRI Color LED / TRI Cool Antec fan
550w Antec True Power 2.0 PSU
Asus M4A87TD
AMD Phenom II 965 Quad Core 3.2 GHz CPU
4GB DDR3 1600 OCZ Memory (2x 2GB sticks)
EVGA 9800GTX+ PCI- Express
Hauppauge TV Card
Wester Digital Caviar Black 1TB
Seagate 1TB Hard Drive
Samsung 1TB SATA Hard Drive
Samsung 22 inch Wide Screen LCD Monitor
Windows 7 Home Premium
Logitech Z-640 Speakers
Microsoft Wireless Keyboard/ Mouse
DVD/ CD RW Drive (in the case, but not currently connected)
LG Blue Ray Drive


Audigy 2 ZS Gamer (not currently in use, but I have plans to put it back in or replace it at some point)

Well if you have the cash then i reccomend an upgrade 700w will easily cover you for future upgrades and both antec and corsair are good units and dont forget xfx.

current power draw 467w... recommended psu wattage (with 30% cap aging... and yours have aged) 517w.

So as you sit now youre good but if you want to up your gpu from that 250 (essentially) to a 550 or 580 you'll need something like a 700 or 750w psu.

Not too good to begin with and they don't age well
