Enermax products are hit and miss. However, if you are going to put that on a modern system I wouldn't as the design is at least 8 years old already. Look at Seasonic GX, Corsair RM(X), or EVGA G3. Those are all high quality modern PSUs.

Ok but i cant get this Psu for around 90 dollars. My specs are i5-8400 GTX 1060. Will the power supply be outdated for these components?

Yes it would. That design is quite old and there is no way that you need a 1000W PSU for that build. For just about any single GPU system that doesn't use a HEDT CPU the biggest PSU you will ever need is 650W. Right now you would be able to use 450W PSU but if you went 550W or 650W you will have room to grow with a faster CPU and GPU. Get one of these linked PSU's in either a 550 or 650W setup and you will have a modern high quality PSU.
