No, it's crap. 

It's group regulated, it lacks protections and it's loud.

Thermaltake Netzteil Smart SE 530W / Modular how about this one?

What about a CX550? Costs barely anything and is actually decent, unlike the piece of trash you just suggested.

I bought a Corsair PSU Builder CX450M but I look at psu calculators and they recomend higher wattage that 450 watt, and some say 450 is just enough... idk what I'm going to do? should I just use that one or get a higher wattage psu?

It's fine. PSU calculators are useless and overestimate by a ton. Expect the power draw to be around 300W.

that's actually much better and more than enough. That system would go around 300 watts

 

100+185+50=not 550...

It's ancient. It was a good budget offering for its time but now it's just old and not really good, like the Cooler Master Hyper 212.

Shots fired, 212 men down

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

I think it's 212 vs 400 these days. 400 men are less expensive than 212, but they get the job done better and more quietly. I could make a joke about the current political climate in the US, but I don't want to get suspended.

The 212 Black performs quite decently, though. JDE got the RGB version.

It just runs away from the Evo and 400 in terms of performance. They didn't want it to have to pay for the 212's past mistakes. It does however feel like the tech community is shooting it in the back, though. I haven't seen many recommend it.

Well, you were about to downgrade your PSU with some awful ones that only System Integrators like...

 

Wattage is not as important, as long as its enough. And that it is. You need to do some serious overclocking. Without that you're at around 250-300W under normal gaming Load.

I have a similar system with a Ryzen 1700x and an RX480 (Power Color RX480 Red Devil) and a Powermeter. You might want to look at a BM231E in your local Bauhaus (that's where I got mine. In the "local" Bauhaus right next to Ikea - around 100km away or so)  or so, where they are hanging around for like 10€ or so.

 

That's a decent solution, IMO. Beware: It might have a bug where it shows double the real Power Consumption for whatever reason...

Yeah, I saw that later...

That one was fine. Impressive that there are systembuilders that use actually good PSU over here...

 

Well, maybe I'm the reaso (and some other people), who would flame those companys...

 

Sometimes its better to look at the long time stuff and the value of the brand and not ruin it with LC-Power, Inter-. or MS-Tech crap that will be called out if someone shows up in a forum and posts a pic of the unit...

I bought that m12ii evo 520 last year, its not loud unless you are drawing full voltage.
My system is not a power hunger system.
 

But like others said its old psu and seasonic still producing it.

it's old... like 10 years design old. I would recommend it if it were like the vs series, cheap, but only for replacing the psu in a old system, but for 60 bucks...
