We advise users to place the full specs to their system's in the thread's body instead of stating people to look at my sig. Reasoning behind that is due to the fact that sig space specs can and will change over time, rendering this thread and relevant suggestions moot to the user in the same boat as you're in now. I've shoehorned your specs into the thread's body, hope you don't mind.

Do you mean this unit;

? If so, it's a Tier B unit but I'd avoid buying any PSU with Gigabyte branding on it. How much are you paying for that unit? What other units do you have access to? Where are you located? What is your budget for a PSU? I feel like you can do better with your PSU purchase, something from Corsair,

Yeah, that's the one.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I live in Greece, my budget is 200€ (roughly 217$ i think) and it was the cheapest one i could find.

For the cheapest Corsair (HX1200i 1200W Full Modular 80), i would have to go as high as 300$.
