Hi guys, this is my first post here. I apologize if I'm asking this in the wrong place (mod feel free to move, if that is the case).
I'll be upgrading my video card, CPU and motherboard in the coming weeks and I'm curious as to whether my current PSU will be able to handle the upgrade or if I will need to replace that as well. I'm hoping to save every penny possible while upgrading to a future proof rig, so if it is at all possible, I'd like to keep my current psu.
Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
Card: XFX Double D FX-785A-CDFC Radeon HD 7850
I'm currently using a Corsair HX520w psu. Will it be able to handle the load of my upgraded mobo and cpu? Or will I need to upgrade this as well? My case stays well ventilated and I blow it out regularly to keep it free of dust and build-up. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
