CX450 is fine if it's NOT the green-label variant. The older CX-series PSUs were very very poor quality and not at all made for any reasonable gaming system.

Get back to us whether it's a gray or green-label. If it's gray-label then I'd say it's pretty okay to leave in the system.

If it is a CX450 with a green/white label, upgrade it. Those are horrible units. Get a SeaSonic S12II 520 W, or a Corsair CX550 gray label power supply. That should be enough power for your system, and they're fairly okay units.

AFAIK, the old poor quality CX 'green label' were 430/500/600W. The new 'white label' are 450/550/650W so a CX450 is necessarily a 'white label' version.

The newer CX non modular and semi-modular PSU's , the black \ white models are all good units.

For your specs that PSU is more than fine.

I'm quite surprised I never realized this. You're right, of course.

No need to change this, it'll be fine in your system.

I always forget which label color is which. I find it much easier to remember that the good ones in that power range end in 50
