Why do you want to upgrade? If everything runs good do i see no need for it.
Only the psu is something i get worried about.This one?

The psu is something i would change with that age on it.Just out of precaution.If you think it works fine is it up to you to keep using it.
I say this because of things like these in that spec list,

MTBF: 50,000 hours at 25°C
Peak Power: 650W->sounds nice,but Stable Power: 400W
Efficiency: 70% Min, at full load 230VAC/50Hz

this doesn't help with me feeling confident about this psu.

will my motherboard be able to use 3 hdd?

Sure,why not? It has 8 sata ports,of which 6 are supported by the intel chipset alone.
The ssd might be best run of this:"Marvell 9128 chip:2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors" (probably the grey ones). Also is it possible that the chipset ports in the end just do better.You would need to test that with hd-tune or something like that

is there a power supply that you recommend.
thanks heaps for your help!

Maybe a link to a site you would be looking at for a psu?

 

[shauno_23]

is there one you would think would suit my system? or just any newer psu would be better than what i have?

For under $50 will either one do good,

for just $5 more is the 650watt enough to go for quite a while and never be without some headroom,based on a one gpu system that is.

 

[shauno_23]

ill get the 650 i think. thanks heaps for your help mate. cheers
