[SOLVED] Can I use my old PSU?

[CandyCornGamer]

Hey, just a quick question. I bought an EVGA 500w 80+ White PSU in 2015 for my current build (upgrading) and wanna know if I can skip buying a new power supply and just use the current one I have now.

Here's a link to what my new build will be. I know 500watts for my pc will be enough, I just want top know if the EVGA psu I have is good.

PSU I already have : https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016

If you have the budget for it I would replace, but mainly due to the age of the current one.

JUST AN UPDATE! : Looked at the case for my PSU, it's Bronze, not white. Not sure if that will chance anything.

I do wanna get a new one, but the problem is that I'm also trying to get a new microphone and mixer.

A 4 year old PSU isnt necessarily prone to failure, but its a critical component for a lot of reasons. I would replac it.

It's probably fine to use, but just a note. It had a three year warranty and you bought it when??? :/

Bought in 2015, as for any warranty, not sure.

If you purchased it in 2015, the warranty has expired.
