    Hey All,

    I need a new 850W PSU as my 650W isn't sufficient for my 3700x and a 3080.



    I've got the option to purchase either the Super Flower Leadex III ARGB or the CORSAIR RM850x


    They're £135 and £125 delivered respectively, if you had the choice which one's the better purchase?

    Given the choice I'd go for the Corsair one as I have far more history and trust with Corsair, although I've not used many of their PSU's.

    I'd probably go with the Super Flower ... but do you want RGB on a PSU ... the Corsair would look more restrained. Quality wise, probably fine with either.

    Superflower all day. Had a few Corsair PSU's die, one of which lasted a whole 10 seconds.

    You can turn the RGB off on the superflowers.

    I agree with modd1uk, Superflower without a doubt.
