What did that PSU power previously along it's 6 year tenure? Assuming you made a typo on the end of your sentence. I would ask you to pick up a brand new PSU and see if you can recycle the PSU to a lower powered build.

Moved thread from Components to Systems.

Depends, but I will also suggest an psu upgrade with high warranty.
Im also pushing my VS550 (orange) for 4-5 years now and risking fire hazzard with r9 280, will soon swap to delta 650.

In short, psu is heart if your build (like in real life), if it fails it might pull everything with it.
