Due to me budgeting wrong and not factoring MRI, I'm forced to downgrade some items. I've bought everything except the PSU and CPU, and I really don't want to downgrade the CPU. I found a cheap refurbished corsair cx 500 and I was just wondering if refurbished PSU are safe to buy. If anyone has had experience buying refurbished PSUs, would like to know how it turned out for you.

i absolutely hate buying a power supply on the cheap. Its possibly the most important thing in a computer build but if i HAD to pay less than 50 dollars i guess i would get this one

but even then i would feel dirty and paranoid about it breaking, since i know nothing about evga psus ive only heard a few good things here and there.


if you can pay a bit more you should spring for this
