I bought the Corsair HX520 (re-branded Seasonic) back in 2007 and was wondering if it is wise to keep using it for another year or so. During its lifetime, it never exceeded 200 watts and was connected to an UPS (APC BR800i). But now, I think it's providing around 300 watts (maximum 350). I've ran all the tests and everything seem stable.

I wouldn't mind getting a new PSU, but I see no point in spending money if I don't have to.

I see no point either. If you have no psu related issues why even worry about it. Enjoy your rig.
