I have a 4 year-old Corsair GS700 which was purchased in year 2012 for my P45 build with Intel C2D E8400 & AMD HD6850. I have retired the rig & built a new Skylake (i5 6500) rig, hoping to pair with a new AMD Polaris 10 (480) or NV Pascal (GTX1080) graphics card. Since these newer cards have low TDP, can I extend the usage of my GS700? I've read the [H] review of the 7-yo PSU ( Conclusion - SilverStone Olympia 1000W Power Supply 7 Year Redux ). Should I be worried?
FYI, I'm now using the onboard Intel 530 graphics ... gotta wait for the new GPU or probably get a Fury if the Polaris/Pascal fail to impress me. Currently, the PC is rock stable.
This is the newegg page of the GS700:
