It's a generic POS 500w psu, I wouldn't trust it really lol. But if its all you can afford then it should do fine. I'd recommend replacing it within a year though, The sooner the better. I must say though fx series is meh, don't expect the most amazing frames with this build, but I'm sure it will hold you up.

Hi,

I personally would replace the PSU. Don't trust PSUs come with the case unless they are at least Bronze and 80+ certified, they can be dangerous if they don't have modulator to prevent over power into the PC. Also they might fail in providing enough power to your PC, so you will end with black screen, or PC goes off randomly, and most probably it will die fast.

As for the components, if you are looking for recommendations:
If you are not in a rush,
1- Wait until AMD CPUs comes out they support DDR4 (Market price will drop for both Intel and AMD), but if you want to get something now get the FX-8xxx
2- The SSD, you will need more than 120GB. At least 240GB should be good enough.
3- The cooler comes with AMD is not bad, but if the case does not provide a lot of air in you might have high temps.
4- For the GPU it is not bad and cheap, but if you are looking for better and in the same time cheap get RX 470-480 (XFX GTR).

Regards,

Superbly better than the original one. Still not exactly the best quality but in a pinch....

If you can find a way:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020101-UK-CX450M-Semi-Modular-Bronze/dp/B01C3FFOHS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483025284&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+cx450m

This is your safest bet.

DO NOT buy that model, its significantly different than the one I linked despite the CX name. Its garbage. You're better off with the EVGA if you can't afford the one I suggested.

No reason to buy that, its way more power than you need, the 400w EVGA you linked is identical in terms of construction.

The reason i point you towards the Corsair CX450M is that its far better QUALITY. You do not need more power, you want a better quality PSU.

As for if it will fit in the case, that case accepts an ATX PSU, any of these lower wattage units will fit in there perfectly fine.
