Is it time to upgrade my old PSU for my new build?

Hey everyone! I'm upgrading my PC and planning to get an Intel I5-14600K processor, a Gigabyte B760 motherboard, and 32GB of DDR5 RAM from Kingston Fury. According to PcPartPicker, my new setup will need around 300W. My current power supply is a Seasonic M12II that's 520W and about 7 years old. I'm wondering if that PSU will still be adequate once I add a solid GPU and some fans in the future. Should I consider upgrading to something like the Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M at 750W? What do you think?

If you think you'll be adding a GPU later, it's definitely a good idea to grab a better PSU. I’d suggest looking at the Montech Century II 850W since it's budget-friendly and gives you some headroom for future upgrades.

I'd be cautious with the Montech Century II though—it's more on the lower tier. You might be better off with the Be Quiet! Pure Power in either the 750W or 850W version, as it’s rated higher quality.
