Did I screw up by getting this power supply? NEX G1

[BigC847]

Here's my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9GZGZL

Here's the PSU: Newegg.com

I picked up this power supply a year ago, was going to get the G2 but they were out of stock and I was like "Hey, it's evga and gold rated, so why not?"

Tier 4........I'm not overclocking, but my GPU is a tad bit power hungry, What exactly do I have to worry about? Do I need to order an new PSU ASAP? Is my PC going to explode and burn my house down? I will probably be replacing it this time next year since I plan on X-Firing the 390x, but that wont be until I pick up a 4k monitor and an oculus.

In Short, will this be a good PSU for the next year with no overclocking?

Just based on tier 4, no. Replace this as soon as possible. You run a higher than normal chance of fire, and component destruction. Avoid low tier PSUs like the plague they are.

As noted above, return it. If you live near a Micro Center you could head out there and pick up a nice B2/G2/GS unit to support that build today. Otherwise just order something more appropriate and be patient

What exactly do I have to worry about?

Smoke, flames, destruction of other parts.
Possibly getting to know your insurance guy on a first name basis.

I did get it at a Micro Center, but that was a year ago and now I live nowhere near one.

Here's a lazy mans question, If do order a G2, will my current cables work with it? That way I wouldn't have to do my wire management all over again, just unplug the cables at the psu and replug into the new one.

It lasted a year with both an OC'd fx6300 and OC'd 280X, is it really that readily important to switch early?

Ok, screw it, I'll order a new PSU. 1000w here I come, prematurely albeit but so be it. Thanks for the help y'all.

It is "important to switch", because that one is crap.
I would say the same if it was 1 day old or 10 years old.
