Bought it back in 2006. I'm planning to upgrade my current setup but will i still be able to use this PSU? I planning to use
EVGA 780i SLI Motherboard.
Q6600
8800GT 512MB
2GB or 4B RAM
and everything the same.

First of all, you can't use SLI on Intel chipset motherboards. Second, with 8800GT, your PSU could probably handle it. Maybe not for long though.

Forgot to change the motherboard. I'll be using a 780i SLI instead.

With all of the money that you are (now) spending I'd invest in a higher quality & more efficient psu. A Corsair VX550 (or better) would be a good start.

The Powerstreams are pretty stout PSUs. Mine has seen alot of use and abuse and not let me down once.

Ya, I wouldn't spend the money to go to a 550, because the powerstreams were great, plus only 1 12+ volt rail is a plus.

Please take note I said VX550 or better. The Corsair VX550 is also a single rail design, more efficient, better build quality, and it has 41A compared to 33A on the OCZ.
