Hey everyone! I'm building my first PC and came across a refurbished Corsair RM850x PSU for £99, while a brand new one costs £139 here. I wanted to get some input on whether buying a refurbished power supply is a smart choice or if I should just go for the new one.

Refurbished PSUs from unknown sellers can be sketchy. If it's directly from Corsair, maybe consider it, but otherwise, just go for a new one. It's not worth the risk!

No way, man. The PSU is your system's lifeline. If it has issues, it could lead to a lot of damage. Save yourself the hassle and get a brand new unit.

They are already the cheapest, but crucial parts of your PC. Save a few bucks now, and you might end up spending a lot more later if something goes wrong!

Definitely go for a new PSU! Refurbished ones can be hit or miss, and you don't want to jeopardize your entire build for a small saving. Opt for something reliable to keep your system running smoothly.

Honestly, I wouldn't risk it. The PSU is one of the most critical components, and you don't want to cheap out on it. A faulty PSU could damage all your other parts. Better to invest in a new one for peace of mind.
