Been using my current PSU since build, around 2014.
Should I change rather than let it run until it dies? Will it damage my other parts though.

Wha's good to recommend for my specs in my profile :o

I think its good as long it is not causing any issue, I also have re-used my Corsair AX860 from my previous rig which i bought ard 4 yrs back.

most branded PSU are built to protect the rest of the components if PSU decide to up lorry.

So far after building PC for almost 20yrs, The worst case scenario is people using those cheap PSU like (iCute) or those no brand light weight PSU. they fried the sata connectors, the capacitors on the motherboard exploded/bloated.

so i don't think it's a need to change your PSU until it fried.

i'm still using a 2nd hand Corsair PSU since 2016 still now.
