ATX is just a form factor standard for PSUs, coincidentally the form factor with the most variance in model and quality. If you can give us a link to the product or the brand and model we'll be able to help you.So Im looking for a new PSU that can power my system and my new rog strix 560 4gb so im just curious if someone used this and is it any good?

Also aside from the GPU, what kind of processor are you running? The full list of your components will also help us determine how much power and what level of quality PSU you need.

Ok thanks for reply.So I just used some of the link you provided and got that a evga 500 w1 would be good for my system.I really wouldn't recommend it. The website states it's rated for 500W maximum load with about 270W for its 12V rail (which is the important rail that handles your core components). Even then, there's no guarantee that 270W is net power; it's rated for 78% efficiency which doesn't even clear the 80 plus "White" i.e. lower than Bronze, but 80 plus alright.
80 plus "White" is rated for 80% peak efficiency, and Bronze is 85% peak with 82% at the lowest. Efficiency doesn't equal quality, but they sure do help us calculating our power needs.
Ran your spec list through bequiet!'s PSU calculator and under load you'll be needing 270W. Way too close to your PSU sustained power rating. On top of that, it's an unknown model that I wouldn't recommend people to buy.
For budget option, I can recommend a Corsair CX450; assuming you're not overclocking that Phenom heavily. If you are, then something higher quality. 450W (of sustained, not maximum) is plenty for your system. With 450W power, you are utilizing it near the peak efficiency curve; more clean power for your PC and extends the life of the PSU itself.
If you want to take a look at more options, check the ones in tier C or higher in this list:

No. The EVGA w1 may work for a home office computer but not recommended for a gaming system. You need to spend a bit more money and get something better.Ok thanks for reply.So I just used some of the link you provided and got that a evga 500 w1 would be good for my system.

Spending more for a better PSU is always good, if OP can find a B series considering EVGA is available in his region. It's on C tier.No. The EVGA w1 may work for a home office computer but not recommended for a gaming system. You need to spend a bit more money and get something better.

Your link points to a 230v 50hz unit.
If 230/50 is the power source make sure you get a psu that can support that.Bosnia And Herzegovina
