Hi Folks,
I’m planning a PC refresh and had a query about using the old PSU I currently have in my tower:
XFX PRO850W (P1-850S-NLB9).
During Black Friday promotions, I bought several upgrades from Newegg:
XFX SPEEDSTER QICK319 RADEON RX 6750 XT CORE Gaming Graphics Card
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X - Ryzen 7 5000 Series Vermeer (Zen 3) 8-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM4 65W None Integrated Graphics Desktop Processor - 100-100000926WOF
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M2E3200C16
My question is: Can I still incorporate this PSU into the upgrade?
I’m hoping to reuse it if it remains a suitable fit with my ASRock AB350 Pro4 ATX AM4 motherboard (which will require a BIOS update), the Samsung 840 Evo 1TB SSD, and the Asus Xonar Essence STX 24-bit 192 kHz sound card I already own. Additionally, I checked PC Part Picker and confirmed it has the required connectors for my build, along with an estimated base wattage of 434W.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated. Cheers!

I placed an order for an MSI MAG A650BN Gaming Power Supply from Amazon.
