Since there's very few reasons to upgrade your PSU (a new component that needs more power than your current PSU can provide is the only one I can think of...), how long have you had your current PSU for and why did you get rid of your old one?

I've had mine for less than a year. My previous one was a 650W and I upgraded to a 750W. The reason I upgraded wasn't because I needed more power but because my previous one did not have detachable cables so cable management was bad.

1 Day. Haha, FSP Aurum Pro 1000w.

Used a Sparkle SCC-750AF for 14 months, Run's great, sold it to a friend. I upgraded because I'd often pull over 750w F@H, The SCC-750AF could handle it, but I jumped on a new one with a FSP sale.

Had mine a little over a year I think. Would kinda like to upgrade just to go modular and clean up my case a little more but need too many other goodies before dropping $100 on a new PSU. Need me a H100, 8120, better video card and been wanting a 2TB hard drive to run back up duties. So as long as my trusty TX750 doesnt kick the bucket on me, itll be in there a good while longer.

I'm using an OCZ stealthxtreme 500 watts in my other computer, never had a problem with it. It's about 4-5 years old.
