It's an old group-regulated design and there are far better options. Is budget or availability of better models a problem for you?

The Corsair CX series are ok. 450-550 watts would be enough. If you could get a Corsair TX550M that would be better but a CX450 or 550 would be ok.

There's no debate here. You just keep buying crappy PSUs.

Even the CX-M would be better because it at least has DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V rails.

thanks for your replays guys. I would really love to go and try getting something better than the CX series maybe the TX-M if i can afford it now, so i will see how its gonna work for me. Thanks again for your replays
