Should I get a new power supply? I have a seven year old Seasonic 620 watt power supply. Old, but top quality. I do not understand why I see multiple recommendations that a new build should have an ATX/12V power supply.
My new build will be very nice but basic (No plans to overclock - my current build heated my room to 90 when I got significant performance gains from overclocking, plus I have forgotten almost everything I know since retiring):
Ryzen 7 3700x
Radeon RX 5700xt
ATX motherboard
16 to 32 gb RAM (still undecided)
recycled 512 gb SSD
recycled hard drive
recycled DVD rw
Newegg recommends a 476 watt power so my current one is plenty big enough.
What do you think?
Thank you for your answers.
