Hey guys,

I'm broke and so is my computer. I need to build a new one and want to cut corners to get the best hardware I can on my limited budget. Should I reuse my 7-year-old Antec Gold 750W Power Supply? I am guessing my build would maximum be 500W.
As far as I can tell, the power supply has been fine and does not seem to be malfunctioning.

Just to be sure, for the community's sake, you should list your specs for us to understand if your build will draw more power than the PSU can handle.

Also, can you be specific with the PSU's model? We know it comes from Antec. You shouldn't cut corners when building a system, since it'll haunt you later down the road.
