Hi all,

Its finally time for me to upgrade my Athlon 64 3700+ system, before I look into a spec, I was wondering if my NorthQ 4775-500BULK, ATX 500W, 120mm
- Fan, 12-17dBA, 4xSATA, SLI, 20/24pin would be ok to use in a new build?

It has run my system with two 6800GT 256MB in sli for four years now without a problem but I'm aware of the age and reputation of north Q power supplies.

First, would it still be compatible with the latest hardware and second given the age of my power supply would it be better to go for something newer?

My new system will prob include MSI Radeon HD 5770 Hawk, 1024MB.
