So I currently have a Corsair TX850M PSU (CORSAIR/CP-9020004UK), got this in 2013 and wanted you see what you think about if it is up to scratch for my build or do i need to change?

If so what should i be looking at, dont want to spend more than £150.

Keep it. It's only 4 years old so no need to replace a psu working that's working well.

Thanks mate, It's still plenty of power for my specs though?

It has a 840w 12v rail so you could even run 1080ti SLI with it along with overclocking if you wanted to. People often massively overestimate how much power their pc pulls. As an example, my pc pulls just under 300w at the wall with the gpu heavily overclocked as well as the cpu and ram while benching. Normal gaming use is up to 252w at the wall depending on the game. That is including all of the watercooling stuff as well (2x fan controllers, pump, 6 fans, temp sensors and a couple of led's).
