Will my old faithful survive another build?

Hey all,

I bought a "Corsair RM Series RM1000X '80+ Gold' 1000W Modular Power (CP-9020094-UK)" PSU about 6 years back and it has survived me 2 builds so far, I've just made the leap on a new system which is going to include a 4090, i9-13900K 10 case fans, 4 nvmes and maybe an ssd or two. Do you think my current supply will be up to handling that and the spikes that come along with it, or should I look for a new PSU?

Yup, I'd keep it.

I'm running much the same set up with corsair 860 and it's fine it must be at least 7 years old I'm replacing it with a pci 3.0 psu as soon as the 1300w are available they have a 10 year guarantee so I expect it to last that long.

good to know, thanks!

This. I'd keep it for as long as the warranty lasts, which Corsair will honour if you still have proof of purchase.

Just have to hope I can find where I put my spare set of cables!
