[SOLVED] Is that a good deal or not?

[thekillerx10]

i got seasonic s12ii 620w and a case called cooler master sileo 500 for 56$

Im building a used build with 3th or 4th generation, with an rx 580 8g

the seller tested the powersupply and the 12v , 5v , 3.3v rails was fine, also he tested it with an rx 570 on furmurk for 10 minutes and there was no stutters so am i good?

If you can elaborate how the test was performed, it's probably possible to answer.

he connected the powersupply with a motherboard and an rx 570 and run furmark, and for 5v,3.3v and 12v it was in the bios

That test doesn’t really tell you anything. If you look at proper psu reviews you will see it takes very specialist equipment to test one. I also believe the warranty won’t be transferrable if there is any time left on it.

The case is built for silence.
It is not good for housing a gaming pc inside. Your graphics card is going to suffocate and overheat in there.

Sure. You can do that. It will help with temperatures.
But you'll get dust residue all over insides of your pc.

so what do you think will it be good or not

Elite 335 is better. But still - quite ancient design.
Why don't you get a new modern case?

Personally I think a good warranty is a key criteria for a psu and protecting your pc. It should be at least 5 years but high quality psu’s come with more. A good warranty should cover the whole pc in the event the psu fails and damages other components. I’d never use a 2nd hand psu myself, it’s the one component that can destroy your whole system if it fails and I don’t believe warranties on psu are transferable to new owners.

budget, but is it worth it to return this case and get elite 335 or not because the place i got from it was really far

also what do you think about the case

 

[thekillerx10]

Actually im now worried about the case not the psu

 

[thekillerx10]

Undervolting will help too if the temperature of my rx 580 was high
