Hi everyone,
I've got a question. I currently have a perfectly fine Corsair Professional HX750W that I bought back in 2011 for my work/gaming PC. It's going strong still, with no problems.
Now for the question, should I upgrade it? Or should I keep it going? I am looking to buy a 3080. Currently been using a GTX 680 that I bought back in 2011, and it's been a fantastic card, but I'm looking to play new games on Ultra.

My monitor is 1920x1200/1080 (the 3080 will overkill it, but I'm looking to upgrade it in the future. It's going on 11 or 10 years old now, but still amazing)
So what does everything think? Also, if you could recommend me an amazing PSU that I can use for another 10+ years, that would be greatly appreciated. Preferably one I can buy at Canada Computers. Newegg is overpriced because of import/shipping fees, etc, and I don't trust Amazon for electronics.
Thanks!
