11year old PSU, time to replace?

[Von Luck]

I've had my Enermax 620w PSU since 2006 and it has been flawless through multiple builds, but I'm starting to get a bit twitchy having such an old central component.

I'm looking for something quiet, efficient and modular at a reasonable price. Current PC spec is:

970GTX
i7 3770
1 SSD

Any recommendations?

Whatever you go for, run it by http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews first, this guy rips PSU's apart and really tells you if its good or not.

EVGA Supernova G2 or G3 units, or Superflower, or Seasonic would be my advice.

I've got one of those, red/black/gold? Heard they take out components and prone to failure, reliable for a while then after a few years bang.

A good 550W PSU is more than enough for your system, even if it's overclocked.

This is a Seasonic platform, re-branded for EVGA. It's quite compact for a modular 550W unit as well, useful if you're dealing with a smaller case.

I'd probably keep it with that build and only replace it if you decide to change anything else, a decent 550w 80+ Gold would be more than enough for that system though.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Edit: I've ordered a Seasonic G550 80+ Gold, should get to install it over the weekend.
