[SOLVED] reuse old PSU in my new build?

[cloud-striker]

Hi, I’m upgrading my pc and was unsure if my old psu (corsair cx600) was capable of handling the cpu 3700x(maybe a 5600x) and gpu 5700xt in my new build. I was wondering if someone could give me some advice.

It is possible yes, while I would recommend 650 for your new build to have some headroom, 600 should do the trick

also your PSU is decent, in case of a failure it should not take any other components with it

tl:dr YES

thanks a lot for your help! do you think if I do plan to upgrade the psu later on that something with 650 watts 80+ gold would be fine for overclocking?

Also yes

that would be a PSU i would recommend for your build, you can see how your 600 one fares first
i also like that you are looking for 80+ rated, kudos to you
