Your power supply is an active PFC (Power factor correction) unit and really should only be used with a pure sine wave UPS battery backup system if you want to avoid the potential for problems. Stepped, modified or simulated sine wave units are known to cause problems, and have compatibility issues with active PFC power supplies. That Eaton 5E according to the documentation I see, is a modified wave form.

For sure. Try to find a pure sine wave unit that is capable of supporting the required capacity of your system. Eaton IS a good brand, don't get me wrong. They make good products, I just am not sure THAT product is the right one for your system. Look for products by Tripp Lite, Eaton, Leviton, APC, GE industrial, or Cyberpower, that is a pure sine wave model AND that has good professional reviews. If there are no professional reviews of the unit, it is probably not worth considering.

are "advice" brand and "aviam" brands any good?

it turns out that apc is made in my country lol
also sorry for asking here is my power supply junk? does it fit my specs? somone told me to replace it.

Your power supply is a good brand, because FSP is a PSU manufacturer and most PSU "brands" don't built their own power supplies, but the model is not particularly good. It's a low quality FSP platform from what I know of it. There's not a lot of information out there on it that I've ever been able to find but what there is indicates it is not very good. The FSP Hydro X and Hydro G are much better if you have to have an FSP unit.

Personally, I'd just avoid them altogether as there are better units available from other brands usually in the same price range.

I've never heard of "advice" or "aviam" and I suspect they are likely regional brands that are lower quality. If you can't find a professional review of the product you are looking at, look at something else, because if it was worth looking at there would BE a review of it, a professional review, unless it was a brand new product that hasn't been out long enough for there to be reviews.
