Hi.
My PSU, fsp hydro 500 watts recently died(?). It suddenly turned off without any notification about software failure or something so I looked up online and tested the voltage of the cables using multi-meter and all the cables were above or just below the standard voltage, plugged all the cables back into the hardware, and it worked again! But she decided to die after 3 to 4 hours of gaming + browsing / YouTube.

I told my friends who knows a lot better than me about PC and they reckon it`s a PSU so I looked up for a cheap PSU around 50 to 60 NZD and found a "Deepcool DE480 480w PSU".
This PSU is going to be a "temporary solution" I am going to replace it.

I want to know whether this PSU will do a job for my build.
Here's are my build:

Motherboard: GA-H110M-S2H
CPU: i3-6100 3.7GHz
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 950
Storage: SATA 1TB HDD
Fan: One system fan
Wi-Fi card
I have done a calculation using a cooler master PSU calculator and the result was around 320w.

If this PSU is a bad, could you pick the best PSU that around the dimension of 180x150x86mm out of this list? I prefere at a maximum price of $55. Thank you.

Also I am going back to Japan since there will be a long holiday coming up (I am currently living in NZ to study English as a senior school student and the reason I have desktop is because I will be in NZ for another 2 or more years). And I'm pretty certain that I can buy good PSU at decent price in Japan (Logical right? 😉 ). So is there any good PSU at a budget around 90 to 100 USD or 9000 to 10000 JPY? ( I want to buy good one in Japan because in NZ, most good PSU costs about as twice as much than America or Japan does 🙁 )
Thank you :)

Quite a mess you've gotten yourself into huh?
The prices in NZ aren't that good and the range of products both off your provided link and on PCPartPicker aren't favorable either.

Unfortunately a temporary solution might seem like a catchy word but it'll do more damage to your system and subsequently result in more expenses than buying a good quality unit off the bat.
Don't you think it's possible to purchase a unit from USA and have it shipped to your location? If you leave for Japan shortly, you could take the PSU tier list with you while purchasing. Based off this site, I'd suggest a 450W unit that is as close to Tier 1 as possible at the very least so as to hold on to as long as possible.

I'm assuming the temperatures in NZ are higher when compared to Japan? If so then you're also going to need to up the wattage(to 550W) when purchasing because everything has an operating temperature. The cooler the unit runs, the longer the lifespan(in a way).
