Hello guys have any of you tested this psu?

XPG Core Reactor II VE, 80+ Gold, 850W

If it so how does it perform?

This will be paired with a
R7 7800x3d
Lexar ddr5 32gb
Msi tomahawk b650 ( or what do you guys recommend)?
Rtx 3070 msi x trio ( please don't flame me for this i know i got scammed please at least let me live)

2 nvme
1 sata ssd or 1 hdd ( really depends on the price because I will stock all my videos and photos on it )

AIO Cooler CPU Deepcool LE360 V2 Black

AQIRYS Antlia ARGB Black

If you could give me advice would be amazing, maybe saving some money or so on, to mention that in late future i will upgrade my gpu to a better one but rn I'm happy with what i got since i upgraded from a gtx 1650 thanks

Best regards,

Whatthefish

Good quality PSU. Though, despite it's good build quality, it only comes with 7 year warranty. I'd expect 10 year warranty, but i guess Adata has their reasons as of why to offer only 7 year warranty.

3rd one too for good measure: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1...i-ve-850w-80-plus-gold-atx-3-0-psu/index.html

How is this a scam? MSI Gaming X Trio is one of the better options from MSI and actually my preferred GPU to go for.

Gaming Z would be a bit better, while SUPRIM would be best offered by MSI.

Unless you bought used, ex-mining GPU? 🤔

Is not used unfortunately It doesn't come with a box nor warranty and paid 250$ which is 1050 RON I'm not sure if that 250$ but yeah
