Foxin aren't even on the PSU tier list, so I'm not sure their power supplies are to be trusted. I would swap that out for a decent quality XFX 450W or similar. If you're looking at a new power supply, be sure to post it here first, as we can tell you if it will be good or not.

In general, you want to avoid anything on tier 3 and below on this tier list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

will corsair 450 watt be good ?

 

[Woody1999]

No. The CS450 is a low quality power supply. Can you get the XFX 450W?

For a system using a single Radeon R7 250 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 20 Amps or greater. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

Post a picture of the label on your Foxin SMPS if you want an accurate answer.

Not good. Get that swapped out as soon as possible.

That image is so blurry. Is it an FPS 500 or 600 or 800? The lack of a maximum combined +12V rating isn't encouraging.

Based on its +12V rails specs that SMPS should be capable of powering your system with a Radeon R7 250 assuming that the SMPS is actually able to deliver the power specified on its label.

its fps 800 sorry for the poor picture quality

 

[ko888]

The FPS 800 does have 1 x PCI-E 6 pin connector so that is an indication that it has sufficient +12V rail capacity.

 

[Akash44]

that means it will be ok ?

 

[ko888]

that means it will be ok ?

I've already said that it should be capable.

Thank You So Much
