Question Do I need a new PSU

[MrDominik]

Hi,
I want to upgrade my PC, my current PC is around 7 years old so is the power supply. It is an antec edge 750 or 850W. So my question is do I keep my old PSU in my new build or do I go for a new one.
The new build would look something like this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9wVLbK (old gtx970 would stay but in a few years I would get something new, as I dont need a new gpu because I play cpu heavy games).
So if you think that I need to upgrade can you give me a suggestion using these 2 sites because I can only buy from there: https://www.protis.hr/products/index/napajanja/32, https://www.adm.hr/napajanja-racunala-101/44/.
How much watts do I need? I was thinking at least 650w. I would like something good and at a budget, so the PSU that I saw was antec ea 650g pro (7 year warranty) for 75€, much lower than some good corsairs priced above 100€ with 5 years warranty. Would that PSU be any good or do you recommend something else (keep in mind that I'm very limited by buying from only 2 stores which links are mentioned above).

I saw was antec ea 650g pro

there are quite a few different types of Antec EA(Earthwatts) Pro models.
some pretty high quality, some very low quality.
you would need to include more information regarding the exact model to be sure.

I would recommend a new PSU. That 650g pro is basically a seasonic focus gold, with an Antec casing and label. Regarding your build, if you can get the non x 5600, for less, I would do so. The 5600x and 5600 are basically even in performance.

The difference in price is less than 10€ for the x. So you are saying that the 650g pro would be a good psu? Is 650w enough for the build?

The wattage you need is largely determined by the graphics card.
Since your Antec 650w worked ok with the GTX970, you could continue with that.
Here is a handy chart for whenever you upgrade the gpu:

At that time, plan on buying more wattage than you need. The psu will only consume what is demanded of it, regardless of the max capability.
And, only buy a quality psu with at least a 7 to 10 year warranty.

antec edge 750 or 850W

= Seasonic G-series. A good PSU that can last 10 years or even more. Keep using it until you upgrade the GPU.
