If it aint alright whats a good strong psu I can get for this setup, that is under $200

Specs:
GPU: GTX 950
CPU: AMD A8-6600k 3.9ghz (I underclocked it to 3.8ghz for less demand on the psu)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 500GB
CD tray: ASUS DRW-24D3ST
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A75M-D3H

And of course the PSU: Powerman IP-S400CQ2-0 400w

Your current PSU will work with this rig, but i can't guarantee that it's a safe and stable unit.
Never heard of it, but it seems like it's a InWin PSU, and i'm not so keen about them.
[strike]Seems to be a decent unit though. [/strike][strike]Will work with this system.[/strike]
 
In that review, look at the unit's label - only 300W are available on the 12V rails, and apparently there are two different rails, so ...

The fact that it has a manual switch for 120/220V is also a sign of low quality.

No PFC (power factor correction).

I can go on and on, but you get my drift.
 


It can have a switch and still have PFC, it'll just be passive and not active.
