    Hmmm. General agreement with what's been said so far. I'd hang onto the PSU for sure, unless it's incredibly old and/or inefficient. I've got a 750 PSU that has lasted through two builds, and it's still humming along.

    I've reached the point with my rig, however, where I've frozen all upgrades until I'm ready to do a complete rebuild. The next step is to replace the CPU/mobo/RAM, and I'm going to hold out on that as long as I humanly can.

    i too have a 750 PSU, powering two harddrives and an SSD, four DDR3 dims, a 200W GPU and a 125W overclocked CPU, and i could put another GPU in there if i wished.

    i see it being used for many years to come, and i imagine yours can too.
