There's still a Zalman ZM500-TX 500W 80 PLUS

Power Supply seems to be at least solid enough while it's within OP's budget.

 

From what I could find it's not a total fire hazard, hopefully @Stefan Payne can advise, OP comes from a country with poor alternatives and has too much of a tight budget.

Comparing reviews of the two, it seems the Zalman has lower ripple and better regulation.

Silantium PC is independently regulated, Zalman is group regulated, thus I'd go with the SilentiumPC one.

Though Protection on the SilentiumPC sucks, so I'd rather not get it either...

 

Its a question between rock and hard place, both ain't good...

Both claim to be DC-DC.

Both are wrong.

http://playwares.com/pcreview/30173989

 

Look at page 4.

And the SilentiumPC is Dual Mag AMp, not DC-DC.

The Zalman isn't even th at.

 

And to make it worse, looks like Zalman did some changes there:

No in that price range most units are crap...

 

You have to invest more in the PSU...

I actually found a pure power 11 there. For around the same price, is that one any good in your opinion? It is out of budget tho, but it could help me a bit in the future

Im not sure how things are in the eurozone but I know you can get alot of pretty good psus for that price US, I personally tend to use EVGA 80+ bronze or higher ones for builds I care about but you should definitely make sure its a name brand 80+ bronze or higher for that much. Rego 80+ is for lower end barely trustworthy ones generally speaking

Edit:

Name brands like: EVGA, Corsair, I haven't used a seasonic one but apparently those are pretty okay too, NZXT is supposed to be pretty okay too, brands like that

i swear i had copied it

I'd rather stay on or above Tier C. Not too bad for very old systems that carry little value perhaps

No.  That Zalman is shit.

 

The SilentiumPC is the best suggestion thus far.
