i5 2500k Asus P8Z68 mobo MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OC HAWK G.Skill RipJaw 8GB The only thing I kept from my old PC is hard drive and PSU which is Jeantech storm 700w, it is 3 years old(maybe 3 and a half) and I've never had any problems with it (it is getting a bit warm under load, but that is not unusual right?) So is it possible that it can damage my new parts? Like I said i've never had any causes for concern and you know, if it aint broken.... I cant afford a new PSU right now, and if it might not be safe to connect new parts to it, I will have to wait a few weeks for a paycheck... So any help? Thanks

I always understood that the one thing you do not skimp on is your PSU. It can take out other components if it blows.

When in doubt, wait it out.
