Excellent performance and excellent value, 4GB VRAM, great thermals with these aftermarket coolers

Also you could wait for the new nvidia GPUs to release which are rumoured to be released in a few days
 
Can't remember when I got the PSU it maybe 6 years old now. I also noticed that it doesn't have any 8 pin connectors for the 290.

Should I look to replace it do you think? And if so what for?
 
I probably would get a new psu, just in case. The Super Flower brand gets a good rep around here, but there are also other good makes like Seasonic, Be Quiet, and of course, Enermax. :)
