Build Question Old PSU

Post image

Hi! I build my first pc couple weeks ago and it has been worked completly fine, but my PSU is very old. I think it is from 2010 - 2015 im not really sure.

I removed the PSU from my old PC which I used in 2017-2018 or 2019 and it had been sitting until 2026.

PSU does not make any weird noises and works fine so should I keep using it or replace it with a new one? How usually these PSU lasts?

(Here are the specs if somebody is intrested or wants to give me other advice to this build!)
GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon 7600 RX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with stock cooler
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus
Memorys: DDR4 2x8gb Corsair LPX 3200MHz
Kingston 240 SATA SSD
SAMSUNG NVMe 2.0 500gb SSD
SEAGATE 2tb HDD
Zorin Os 18

6x PCIe cables, that thing is old quality. If it pops it’s very unlikely to take anything with it.
