Cooler Master gx should be better.

The first one is junk. The second one is also junk.

The GX650W BRONZE would have been ok. But the original GX650W is not. It's also 5 years old.

the first one is extremely old and rated using a different system. does it even have an 8pin CPU connector, or just a 4pin? is the big power plug 24pin, or just 20pin?

100% cheap made-in-china junk. or did the marketing department miss that line? if it's a power supply you already have, it MIGHT be useful. but i wouldn't bother to BUY it, unless i was getting an old 486DX up and running again.

for affordable power supplies, i would go Corsair CX, or EVGA, or Antec.

Man, even their own claims are pitifully embarrassing. Tested at 25 degrees! 2 SATA connectors! And "for convenient" no less!

Not sure the purpose of paying for that. After all, I can smash my motherboard with a hammer or set my PC on fire for pretty much for free. And more efficiently as I won't have to wait for the disaster number to come up on the roulette wheel.

Anyway i need it for my old PC
for a new GPU (GT 610)
current PSU wattage is 300 W
300 W enough for GT 610?

How about Cooler Master GX 650W 80 PLUS Power Supply?

How about Cooler Master GX 650W 80 PLUS Power Supply?

Again, from the HardOCP review:

The Bottom Line

The Cooler Master GX 650W is a mediocre power supply for couple of years ago, and an outright failure today. The Build Quality of the unit is nothing to write home about (unless it is a warning), the topology is old and outdated, and the exterior is flash over substance. Coupled with this we have mediocre voltage, poor by today's standards efficiency, and out of specification DC Output Quality. One upping this poor showing is that fact that the unit was completely unable to complete our load tests at 100v AC input. That makes the GX 650W not just a failure by our standards, but rather a double failure and an ugly one at that. Making matters worse is the fact that this unit is priced at up to $100 in retail and $70 online. (Users can pick up the much better Seasonic M12II-620Bronze from Amazon with Free Prime Shipping for $98.29). As it stands, there really is not anyone that this unit would be a good fit for that we can think of, and certainly not for its intended crowd of "gamers." Cooler Master should be ashamed and owes all gamers and hardware enthusiasts an apology.

Official page of Twins MOS (Manufacturer) looks like 1995's website

Both of those power supplies are poor.

Cooler Master V series is good.

Twin mos psu is generic garbage.
Coolermaster psu is name brand garbage.
Try to find one from tier 1 or 2. If the budget doesn't allow you could go for tier 3. but avoid tier 4 and especially avoid tier 5.
