You need to get a new on eif you don't have the PCIE connetor; other than that, you should realy be fine, that is if you don't plan to overclock...

Then it should be fine. How many amps do you have on the 12v? Dual rails or single? If this is high...over 25-30+ combined and your PSU is stable, then you're fine.

Id go with a new psu if I were you. Too many stories of blown computers because of cheap power supplies. The one you have in your sig rig just doesnt spell reliable. Whats your budget?

We'll get you the best one for your money

i don't have a large budget but this PSU is really good.
lets say about 100 USD.
check on this page and suggest a product: http://computacion.mercadolibre.com.ar/fuentes/
