Hey guys, I recently bought a PC from a local ad on a Facebook group. I bought it for £100 and was surprised to see that the PSU on it was a Fully-Modular 80 Plus Gold unit, a Super Flower Leadex 750W. Is this any good? I'm deciding weather I keep it or sell it.

 

Many thanks, Bruno.

I've heard EVGA and Corsair make the best quality power supplies. Somewhere on this forum there's a list of PSU tiers you can refer to if need be

It's pretty darn good, yes.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Very good PSU. that power supply alone is worth about £80-100 new lol.

The guy who sold it to me said it had a core i5 2300, an ASUS P8Z68-V LX board, 16GB RAM 1600MHz, 1.5TB in hard drives, a Samsung 840 250GB SSD and 2x Radeon HD 7700 Series and I offered him £150. He took it, I collected it, went home and when opened it up, I only saw one 1TB HDD and only one Radeon HD 7770, so I immidiately contacted the guy and aparently, he didn't know much about PC's and the guy who sold it to him lied to him. He was really sorry for that and said he would take it back and refund me. Then he suggested giving me £50 back and I would keep it, and I said yes. I guess I didn't really know how much I had in components on this PC.

You know, SuperFlower makes PSUs for EVGA (at least most of the high end ones).

Wow. Two Radeon 7770 would have been good. I am very happy with a 7850 and now I want to crossfire 7970's. Bad thing my motherboard does not support crossfire nor has 2 PCI-E X16

Yeah, £150 for two 7700 would be great. I paid 150 thinking I was buying two 7700 series cards and got really mad when I only saw one, I instantly panicked thinking I was scammed that I didn't think the PC alone was worth 150 selling parts locally. Now I feel bad for the guy that bought a PC that wasn't as described and now sold it to me and is giving me £50 back for it. I feel really bad :S

That is an excellent PSU which itself is worth £100.

I decided I'll keep the PSU, it'll be a good replacement for my corsair VS450 :P
