Question Buying new PSU Worth it?

[respeccbanana]

Hi, I have currently ZALMAN 600w PSU 80+ and I was wondering If I should buy 650w Gold PSU or something better becouse I have read that this PSU is bad and that I should buy something better like Corsair or EVGA..
My PC specs: RTX 2060 6GB Founders Edition, i7 7700k, 16gb ram.

Looks like a pretty old PSU that has long outlives it’s usefulness. How old is that thing?

Past the warranty then. Looks like it was a poor to decent PSU brand new. I wouldn’t use it new with that setup. Definitely recommend a QUALITY Seasonic, Corsair or EVGA PSU
