Hi everyone,

I just bought a new prebuilt PC... No other way to get a GPU for a reasonable price these days. It comes with SilentiumPC Vero L3 Bronze, 700W. I also have an older Seasonic SSP 650RT Active PFC F3 which is a 650W Gold. It's been collecting dust for few years, not being used at all. I completely forgot about it until now.

Which one is better in you opinion?

These are my specs:
MSI Z490-A PRO
i7 10700F (cooler SilentiumPC Fera 3 EVO ARGB)
MSI GeForce RTX 3070 VENTUS 3X OC
Kingston HyperX FURY RGB 2x16GB, 3200MHz
PNY SSD CS2130 1TB
Plus 3 regular and 2 RGB fans.

Thank you for your time!

I wouldn't say the Seasonic is "much better" than the Vero. Especiallly since the Seasonic is older and has been sitting for a long time. Just leave the Vero in there.
