I'm on a tight budget and managed to grab some great deals on new components for my build, including an i5-14600k, a Gigabyte B760M mobo, and 32GB of RAM. However, I'm considering using my old Thermaltake 630W semi-modular PSU, which has been working well for about 8-9 years. I've heard that older PSUs might damage new components, and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it. Should I stick with my old PSU or invest in a new one?

It's pretty rare for an old PSU to fry new components, especially if it has the right protections. If you still have warranty on it, I'd say go for it. Otherwise, waiting until you can afford a newer PSU might be the safer route. Remember, sometimes an old quality PSU can be better than a cheap new one.
