Ordered a new EVGA RTX 3070 video card. Requires a minimum of 750 watt PSU. The one in my pre-built IBuyPower PC was 650 watts (CWT GPS650S) non-modular.
Replaced it with a Seasonic SSR-750FX fully modular PSU. Not only was the install easy-peasy, I was able to eliminate a ton of extra unused cables. (floppy, molex, and a bunch of SATA power cables that weren't needed.
I did have to partly uninstall the radiator/fans for my AIO CPU cooler to get to the 4+4 pin connector on the motherboard...but that was only 2 screws.
Now...what to do, what to do with this old PSU?
