Mustang KY-400W +12V only 10A ?
Hi

I use this PSU like 4-5 years and just now i did check its power and +12V. 10A is low but I never got any problems like resets or bluescreens.

Motherboard:
Foxconn K8M890M2MB
CPU:
DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 1900 MHz 3600+
GPU:
Sapphire Radeon 1650 Pro 512 MB
Ram:
GoodRam 1 GB 677 mhz
PSU:

Its very old setup but I never got problems when watching movies or playing games like:
Grid, Dirt 1,2 Mass Effect 1,2,3 Civilization V

A friend wanted to give me his old geforce 610 1gb but after I checked PSU for power I did also check the +12V and now im scared about those 10A. What could happen if i would try to put geforce 610 inside ?

What PSU should I get for old setup like this ? or its alright if its still works after so many years ?

Then replace it. If it explodes it would be more likely with your current card since it draws more power.

What about that +12V - 10A isn't that very low. I used it few years and no problems, but after i did check my PSU and seen that 10A I'm scared it will explode without warning :p

The 610 will use less watts than your using now why change the power supply just to add another low quality one.

Replace it now! Get a decent 400 - 450w PSU e.g. Corsair CX430.
