It is merely an 'OK' PSU , its better than the evga b1,old corsair CX or VS but worse than the new corsair CX or any seasonic based ones.

You could do better, you could do much much worse so if there's not much more available then yes go for it.

Its got a good 150w more capacity than you actually need so you're barely going to be putting it under any pressure anyway.

I'm prejudiced because I've had the same model psu fail in under 2 years , it was pushing a lot more component wattage than you though , didn't do any damage & RMA was painless.
Saying that , the only other unit I've had fail was an evga g2 (supposed to be the best) which took a caseful of components with it!!

I suppose there will always be the odd bad unit & I...
