The reason it's cheap is because it's a crappy psu. I advice you get something like a seasonic s12II 520w. That thing at least won't fry your psu int the future.

is that going to be enough for todays gaming with my computer?

The seasonic will be no problem.

no. Plenty of name brand power supplies are available for around that money. Just lower your wattage to 600W or so to drop the price. Don't know where you are but for example.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817139202
It's only $59.

Its more than enough, but its crap quality made with crap parts. If you dont want another psu to fail on you do yourself a favor and spend a few bucks on arguably the most important component in your pc. Cheap psu's may not just fail, they may fail and take everything in your computer with it.

What currency/location are you in? That PSU is unheard of so I wouldnt trust it, considering it's "really cheap", that just makes it more likely to be less quality. For $50 you can find a Corsair CX450M, CX550M, or CX650M. If not try for a Seasonic S12ii/m12ii. All of the recommended will be enough for a gaming workload in your build.

alright. What online retailers are available to you or are you able to find the PSUs in stock of that store?

 

[Luka_often_called_Sos]

i just entered a name of the psu that i got recomended in a site that basically sums up great deals of stores in croatia and i saw that all of these psu are in stock but you have to call them first wich isnt a problem

 

[Luka_often_called_Sos]

i found a Corsair VS Series 650W 85+ ATX P/N
for a good deal...and is it going to be a good choice for todays gaming.... and is it going to power my system?

It will somewhat power it, just not very well. Ts still a below mediocre PSU. Any other option? What was that site called?

 

[Luka_often_called_Sos]

I could try finding something else...i found a CORSAIR CX Series 600W for aprox. the same price....and the site is a croatian site as i said and its called nabava.net

It's getting better, still not at the quality I'd recommend. This is most flawless guide I can find: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

I generally recommend tier 3 to tier 1. And if that isn't available to stock or your budget, maybe drop down to tier 4 units.

I could find CXMs and s12ii and a few other good units on that site, but I'm not sure about your budget.

 

[Luka_often_called_Sos]

My budget is non existent right now..lol....but i wouldnt want to spend more than 600 mordens...and i found a SEASONIC SS-620GB 620 W...if thats the right name..i just copy paste these names..is that a good jump from the psu i found before?...and is that going to work for future?

Yes it's a good PSU and are nice jump from previous. It's the s12ii. If you can afford the corsair vengeance, go with that. Alternatives I could find were the grey labelled Corsair CXMs and the XFX TS bronze units, which are similar quality to the s12ii. These are all great options.
