include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

?

Where are you located, what is your budget and what is your preferred site for purchase?

It depends on what your existing power supply is along with the rest of the components in your system. The one you're talking about getting is not a good power supply.

Need the specific model of 250W PSU, because if it's actually 250W then it's probably fine.

it is alcatroz magnum 225 v8-s

This thing?
That is 120W PSU - 10A on 12V rail.

 

[thestryker]

Looks like there might have been multiple versions of that PSU, but the only clear shots I have seen show either 120W or 144W 12V so you definitely need a new one.

 

[colosus]

so should

Armaggeddon PSU Voltron Bronze 300FX​

do the job ?

Similar garbage. Only 216W PSU - 18A on 12V rail.

so should
Armaggeddon PSU Voltron Bronze 300FX
do the job ?

You need actual 300W PSU. At least 25A on 12V rail.

any recommendation that fit the budget lower than $40 ?

I can't imagine anything new that's worth purchasing under $40, even in the US where prices tend to be the best. Used PSUs are risky, but your only chance other than waiting is something halfway decent that's used.

Hopefully you're not using it with the GPU.

 

[colosus]

Hopefully you're not using it with the GPU.

It has spec :
max /peak Power 950W
- Pure /real Power 475W
- Fan 12Cm
- Atx 24pin (20 pin + 4 pin )
- Atx P8 pin ( 4+4 pin )
- Pci -E (6+2) 1x
- SATA 4x
- HDD 4pin 2x

 

[thestryker]

It's 360W for the 12V rail so while it's a junk PSU there should be enough power. Undoubtedly based on a really old design as it doesn't mention anything about ATX version so I'm guessing probably around 20 year old design.

It technically has enough power, but it's junk. Even worse, it's used, old junk.
