Upgraded Rig - Need New PSU?

[eddiew]

Hi guys,

Recently decided to upgrade to a faster processor, and had to move memory and motherboard as part of the process. Suffering a bit of a hit on the build as the memory is DoA, but have realised to my surprise that I'm on a mere 460W power supply

It's a decent unit, about 2 years old, Akasa PaxPower, and has been solid to date, but I'm not sure if it will handle the jump up from my old core2duo E4300 to the new kit

System specs:

Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition
Asus M4A79XTD Evo
4GB 1.65V DDR3
nVidia 8800GT
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty including front plate (uses a floppy drive power connector)
1TB Seagate 7200.12 hard drive
400GB WD hard drive
USB-powered scanner
2x120mm case fans

Planned upgrade: another 4GB memory if prices ever dip below £50 ^^

Please can anyone advise whether I'm going to be pushing the limits of this ol' PSU of mine, and if so, what wattage I need to aim at? Be a bit gutting if I have to drop another £50 into a PSU, but less so than finding I can't power the thing once it's built!

Thank you

It should cope no problems though its a good idea to look around and find if its a trustworthy unit - dont want it taking any of your hardware down.
As long as it has the right connectors there should be no issues (8pin CPU can sometimes be a problem).

It got 9/10 on Trusted Reviews, and was getting generally good comments back in the day, so I'm fairly content with it if it will still have output enough

Definitely has all the required connectors, got a brief power-on of the new gear yesterday, but never got as far as installing windows due to impending RMA.

Thanks for the advice

Sounds like there should be no issues then.
