Hi! I am building my first pc after 9 years. I plan on upgrading everything, except the case and PSU. Right now i have an Corsair RM750i 750W that are around 8-9 years old.

The main usecase is for gaming and streaming.

My main questions are:

  1. Is there any risk of using the old one?
  2. will it handle the job even if it is that old? (the rig will use around 430W acording to PcPartPicker)
  3. do you have som recommendations of other PSUs?

This is all the parts im going for:

-depends on how stretched the budget is, if you can afford it go for a new one
-are you near a microcenter?
-is that hdd being bought or retained?

that psu should last you a year or two extra, but it will def need replacing
