Itch to buy new PSUs

Hey guys, I doubt many other people other than those who frequent this site have this problem, but I've been getting the itch lately to replace a couple of my PSUs for no good reason. In question, is a XFX XXX Edition 650W pro semi modular. Yeah, the one that had the 5V ripple issue during the crossload tests a few years back. I've had it just under 4 years (will be 4 in april). It's currently powering my 2500k and GTX 760, so it's obviously it's not even close to the limit of power. I was considering getting a fully modular 550W, like the XFX XTR, especially since you can get it for $80 right now, or less depending on the shipping. But really, I definitely don't think I NEED to. It's all Nippon Chemi-con caps, and a double ball bearing fan, made by Seasonic. I think replacing it after 4 years is a little silly.



The other one is a similar thing, it's a 5 year old Antec Neo Eco 400C, which as far as I know is made by Seasonic, and it also has a ball bearing fan an Chemi-con caps. That one is currently powering my pfsense firewall, which is an ASRock J1900 Celeron board, and a 2.5" HDD. So in other words, idle power draw is going to be in the 10-15W range at most. It's such low power that the difference between the current 80plus certified and a newer 80plus gold just would be nonexistent. So once again, it's simply a "I want to" but definitely as far as I can tell, a waste of money.





My server has a new Seasonic G Series 360W one that I put in in october, and that started the itch. Anyone else have this problem?
