Which psu should I use

[_VOIDNEXUS_]

So bottomline is I'm building a new pc with I9-10900k, 6gb of ram, 1080ti (from my old build), 3 sata storage. The psu I have for the new is a Rog 750w 80+ gold. But I rediscovered that my current pc has a 850w 80+ bronze. My question is what should I use? Should I take the 850w bronze and put it into my new build or just use my brand new 750w. I probably won't be doing some overclocking in the new pc but I understand that theres a 125w limit on the cpu I think so I will be removing that at the very least. Thanks!

it depends, what model is the old PSU? if its a decent model then use it, but if it is a low end, or even mid tier PSU, then use the new one, you can use the PSU tier list on the LTT forums, just google PSU tier list and it will show up!  You can also find the tier list in my signature!

I suspect that either of them will be more than fine.

the corsair one is a CM850 I think. I will just use the rog strix one

The CM 850 is fine, but I would use the asus one. Just more reliable, I think that most of the Asus units are really high quality.

CX-M ? That's not really a good PSU for such relatively high-end build. ASUS ROG Strix is fine but whether it's a good pick depends on it's price, i've never seen it being priced very competitively.
