I have the parts for a new build. They are:
ASRock Z68 PRO3 LGA 1155
Intel i5 2500K
16 Gigs GSkill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Cooler Master Hyper 2121+ CPU cooler
Crucial 64 Gig SSD
WD6401AALS 640GB HDD
DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD burner
And my old PNY Quadro NVS 440 graphics card which runs my 4 monitors from one slot
Creative sound card
Can I use my old Cooler Master Real Power RS-450-ACLY 450W ATX12V Active PFC Power Supply with these parts and build.
I'm not a gamer and use my computer for mostly financial trading with lots of 2D charts and surfing the net, etc.
My power supply has been working for about 5 years now with no hiccups.
The case is a Cooler Master Centurion, also from the first build. I've been thinking about a new case with the PS at the bottom and mountings for the SSD built in.
What simple but reliable PS do you recommend? I'm thinking of moving up to a 500+ watts PS with 80 Plus certification. Necessary? Make any difference?
How about modular also since I'm using so little parts, etc.
Advice, recommendations, opinions, thoughts? Thanks guys.
