First, what are your computer specs?
Second, what is your budget?
Third, what are you trying to add to your system to make it a "gaming" PC?

As @Jay_dog said, plus a link to the "Rakk" PSU (I couldn't find anything with Google).

For all you know, the Rakk isn't any better of a PSU than you already have. Just because they slap a "450W" label on it doesn't mean it's actually a 450W. There are no laws governing this.

My computer upgrade:
I5 3470 3.2 ghz stock
2x4gb ddr3 1333mhz
Zotac gtx 1050 ti mini
1 sdd
1 hdd
keyboard & mouse

Power supply calculator said power load of 281w. ihave dell 275w. i also have an almost 10year old psu 600w, but i dont know if its safe to use. i also watch linus video on this power supply, he upgrades it to:
i7 3770 3.4ghz
2x8gb ddr3 ram
gtx 1660 ti (requires 6 pin)
1 ssd
1 hdd

And the power supply calculator said power load of 259w, but they use it and it works fine on that video.

You could get something like this:

It will have the 6 pin you need for your GPU, plus enough for your whole system overall. I would not suggest using a 10 year old PSU. If you get anything make sure it is at least 80+ Bronze rated.
