[forcemaster99]

Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading my system with a new Motherboard, Graphics card, and CPU, and i was wondering if i would need to upgrade my PSU aswell or are all PSU's capable of running everything.
Cheers.

I'm not sure, How do i find out?

Open cover and look for the make, model and watts. (Usually in top left of case)

Or you could look for a free system analyzer. Google it and then you should find out.
