Would you trust this PSU(Kentek 680w)?

[ComputerNovice2]

I ordered one of these 680w PSU's, but after doing some research it seems like a bad idea to install it. Would you guys trust it, even if only for a few months?
Components:
-8GB RAM
-Q6600
-R9 270X
Example of PSU in question, and its reported specs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/680-WATT-680W-ATX-12V-POWER-SUPPLY-Dual-Fan-PC-Desktop-Computer-NEW-2-FANS-PCIE-/281094584636?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41728af93c

No way, absolutely not.

For a system using a single AMD Reference Design Radeon R9 270X graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. (Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz 130 Watt TDP processor.)

That Kentek 680W PSU only has one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector and a +12V current rating of 22 Amps. That's definitely insufficient.

Thank you for the confirmation. I will shelve the unit, and keep it around as a reminder to always research before purchasing anything. Hopefully this thread will help inform future potential buyers.

You're welcome.

That Kentek 680W PSU is a really old design. It supplies a lot power on the +5V and +3.3V rails and is very weak on the +12V rail. That may be fine for systems that were being built over 15 or more years ago. Modern systems draw most of their power from the +12V rail(s).
