Toss it or keep it?

[Sat1600]

I pulled this out of a Dell xps 8900. We reused the cpu and ram in another system because the motherboard was dead.

 

The psu does have a pcie connection with 2 6 pin power connectors. I'm thinking of using it for a budget build with rx 480 reference and maybe a i5 3770k. Is it worth it or should I just toss it out?

You could probably get a better one.

Keep it as a spare.

Don’t toss it but also don’t try to run a power hungry GPU on it because it probably won’t last long if you do.

one thing i would never do is recycle a psu for another system EVER!!

 

if you bought it new and its not too old then you could use it 

 

but if its secound hand then i would never trust it 

 

one more thing is that its a 460 watt psu so i would not expect much from it

If it was up to me, I'd definitely not use it in a pc if it was lighter than a 120mm cpu heatsink.
