it has only +12v 18A
pc has been running ok. one new thing i noticed is after turning it off it turns on by itself. Now if i had money i would buy proper psu but i also dont want to fry my pc. do you think one long gameplay session will be the end of it or will it be alright for now?

Likely just as bad as what you have now. Hard to tell without a make and model. But the fact that it is 230v only is suspect.

The TR2s are garbage. It's from a name brand but still garbage. That ITD isn't good either. just from a quick browsing of that site you are not going to find a decent PSU in that price range.

Thinking the model and type 'doesn't really matter' is what got you into this situation in the first place.

The PSU is the one place where you don't want to go cheap.

Yup, model and brand are a very big deal. Buy a decent PSU once rather than buy a garbage PSU and the parts it destroys several times. I'd love if we had a cheap option for you, but there just isn't one and the prices sucking doesn't change the basic safety issues here.

There are really no other stores beside that one (your links) in Georgia?
I also born and grew up from a country (somewhere between developing and third world country level). Finding items are harder but not exactly hard.
I can still find reliable items, they just cost a bit extra.

P.S. I can not understand one single letter, thus unable to really browse on Georgian sites.

Yes. Especially the PSU. If you want to test your computer's fire resistance, a generic PSU is the best to use.

Cheaping out your PSU can be dangerous to your hardwares. Mine literally almost got fried after putting 2 bad PSUs (1 blew up while being tested, the other one is unstable), good thing my motherboard has surge protection. That was my first time to encounter such incidence and it's a hard lesson I've learned and would remember.

I know the struggle of living on a third world country where True rated PSUs are hard to find, google maps might help you find a store. But I advise to order online as there's lots of choices and diversity there that might suit your budget. Less hassle, less cost, better quality.
