Replace 7 year old PSU?

[AMDPower]

Hi

I was wondering if its worth changing my PSU? I currently have a Antec HCP-1200w psu and it has been nothing short of amazing, to be honest I have never used more than 250-260ww from this thing at any one time and that is under load. Like i mentioned never had a problem with it and I am about to do a new Ryzen build and was thinking it might be best just to replace is as a precaution just encase it goes boom.

I was thinking of getting a Seasonic Prime Ultra titanium but this is £260 almost

but for £50 less I can get Seasonic prime platinum

I cant seem to figure out what the difference is between the Prime Ultra and just normal Prime series apart from titanium? Not sure if its worth buying titanium and 300w less or get platinum with 300w more and £50 less?

I do leave my computer on 24-7 mostly in sleep mode but generally never shut down. I really need something that will give me room to expand to thread ripper type platform and dual GPU with water cooling in the future.

Thanks all

Thanks guys

Yeah you are both correct, was just worried if thing went boom one day and take out my shiny new equipment. But will keep it for a while longer. The only real reason i want to upgrade is because its not fully modular and I really want a neat and tidy case this time round. But will now wait for sea sonic to release a 1300w version of the Ultra Prime Titanium.

I bought my PSU (in sig) on 22/11/2007.

It works fine so I keep using it.

Why replace something if it works?

wow that is amazing working for almost 11 years.
