it's acceptable, but there are better ones for the price

don't expect to overclock much.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/thermaltake-power-supply-pstpd0550mpcgus1 Maybe, I don't know much about PSU's so I ask more people for alternatives <3

Avoid Thermalfake - ToughPower are good but the company isn't really know for good things.

 

What do you guys recommend?

XFX TS 550W, Antec High Current Gamer 520M, SeaSonic M12II Evo 520W, SeaSonic S12G 550W, Corsair RMx 550/650W, EVGA G2/GS 550W

Something in my PSU whitelist (in my sig) that fits your budget!

 

Antec HCG and XFX TS are a good place to start.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
