hi
new to this forum so please be kind !
will shortly be building my first pc for ten years - decided on ivy bridge i5-3750K with asrock H77pro4/MVP and Corsair vengence 1600 2x4gb. I will use my existing nvidia gt430 graphics card but am undecided about PSu. I have a 3 year old COLOURS IT 550W - PSU550COLGOLDSILENT PSU but dont think its really had any hard use as I mainly use pc for emails and web browsing but do a fair bit of video editing and making videos of all the pictures i take and put them to music. Will the existing PSU be OK to use or am I risking it after 3 years. I have my eye on an OCZ 550 watt if I have to buy one, but would like to save some pennies if i can. Can anyone out there help ???
