4gb corsair ram
1 150 gb hdd
1 cd rom drive
and a small case fan in the back.

Well dynex...rocketfish etc. All owned by bestbuy, they all suck. I had a rocketfish 700w psu and it blew out my hard drive in my hackintosh. Right now if the system is working, don't touch it. If possible get rid of it and switch to corsair, seasonic, xfx, or antec.

It is currently working right now, ive been playing metro 2033 on maximum settings and i dont seem to have a problem.. if i start encountering shut downs, blue screens, is it a sign to switch?

The CX500V2 from Corsair is fifty bucks and a good choice if your worried.

You should switch as soon as possible, luckily for you the 560 uses 24amps and you have 29 :D
