Hello I currently have a lenovo y720 gamecube and I'm planning on buying a new case as well as a new motherboard and a new CPU, and since I can't afford a new PSU I'm wondering if anyone happens to know if I could transfer my PSU from my lenovo to the new case? All i know about the psu is that its a 450w energystar, thanks

Update your post to include the full specs for the build you have in mind.
I understand that purchasing a new PSU may be difficult.
However, an older PSU (and quite possibly underpowered) could cause more problems in the long run.
Read the following article from within this forum:

Run the calculators (at least 2 or 3 of them) and allow some wattage margin for future growth.
A new PSU may be necessary and you will need to figure out how that might be achieved.

You really need to get the exact model and likely a picture of the sticker on the power supply. Energy Star is just a certification from an efficiency program run by the federal government, not the company who made the power supply.

the model is xu100121-13020 if you search it up you should get some pictures
That says nothing about the power supply.
If you can't be bothered to find out basic, crucial information for your PC, all that's left for me to do is wish you good fortune in your upgrade.

The GameCube uses a standard ATX power supply, but it's old and wasn't a very good PSU in the first place.
If you've already bought a new case, motherboard and CPU, why in the WORLD would you want to power all of that with an old, cheap PSU?
