Hey, some of you may have noticed, but I've ben looking at a new comp for quite a while now. (You can see the thread in my sig.)

However, with M2 on the horizon, I am rethinking my upgrade. I was thinking of simply spending the least I could to get some good ram and a new mobo and getting my socket A system back up and running (and watercooling it). I was wondering if ATX12V PSUs (new stuff), would work on a newly bought socket A mobo? Specifically, the Seasonic S12-500.

Also, in the future when M2 comes out, do you think they will require a new kind of PSU? Or would I still be able to use the Seasonic S12-500?

The reason for all this is that I want to buy as many components for my computer as possible that will transfer over to a new system.
 
The S12-500 will work on an older board you may have to let the extra 4 pins hang off or use an adapter if there are caps or such in the way.

As for the future...........the future is never written and with videocard/cpu power requiremenys it is anyones guess. However, the S12-500 will be more future proof than many other options.
