Question Your thoughts on this PSU ?

[Power supply studdent]

I recently bought an RX 580 2048SP GPU and I couldn't use my existing power supply so I had to buy another one pictured below. Is it a good one?

my specs are :
H61 m4 motherboard
i5-3470s
8gb ram 1666mhz
and a 500gb hdd

Why does the PSU look like it's been used? One more thing, you should be looking at a 550W(with headroom) unit instead of a 400W unit. My vote is no to that unit shown above.

You also might want to stop creating multiple threads on the same topic. Helps avoid spaghetti brains.

first, yea the seller said it was used
secondly, 550w power supply costs 50$ on my country
finally, the previous thread wasnt getting any comments so i had to make another one

How about this one?

These PSUs are inadequate for the task as @Lutfij pointed out. The second one may work, but barely. Given its age, I wouldn't trust it.

You should never cheap out on a PSU. It is the heart of your system, with sometimes severe consequences when they fail.

Garbage

My thought:
Ask the question BEFORE you buy.

The MWE White 400w should do fine. It's not the best but not totally crap either. The powerconsumption of the system is about 250w while gaming so 400w is plenty.

how about the 460w one

how about the 460w one

That's a very old and horrible unit. With 312w @12v it's nowhere near a 460w PSU.

Yes

It's REALLY borderline at best...new. Used with unknown provenance? Easy pass.

In your position, I would not use the GPU until I had something that was new and OK quality or used and good quality.

3 year warranty is a red flag.

7-10 year warranty is offered for reliable PSUs.
