No, it's not even close to being an appropriate PSU for 300W GPU like R9 380X, you need smth modern, with DC-DC, usually they're all 80+ Bronze at least (not necessarily the other way around). If you share link for your local online stores we could find you smth.

Going to need the exact power supply - if you can't find the name, upload a picture of the lable on an image-hosting site like imgur.

Sadly no all the good ones are high price ill probably get a used one or order one on the internet any recomendations?

Unfortunately, you got a very power-hungry GPU. If you couldn't afford a proper PSU, you really needed to be purchasing something like a 1050 Ti.

Used will depend on what the used market is like in your country Tier lists have issues, but you shouldn't be using anything that's a lower tier than a Corsair CX.
