Hi - I would upgrade. It is not a good quality unit (in fact I had one & dumped it when almost brand new),
and is not a 460w unit.

will this one do the trick? http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001656
 


Hi - The Thermaltake TR series PSU's are not well regarded. with that said, most their newer models
appear to be much better. The TR2 600w unit you linked is one of those.

It is still important to know what you intend to upgrade to (as ko888 asked above), but a decent 600w unit
will power almost any modern single GPU system.

My main concern with this model is that it looks like it is about to be discontinued as there is another
600w model listed with a 5yr warranty while this one carries only a 3 yr warranty.
