Well, by the name I'd assume a budget model without anything special. Especially factoring in the price. 

 

I would rather not recommend it. There are so much options for truly cheap but reliable psus.. 

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

Thx for opinion, I’ll look for some other psu, most likely something like 500w EVGA , they are quite cheap as well

Could you please share your location&budget&what do you want to power?

 

It would be loads easier to provide useful answer in that case.

I’m living in UK, my current setup is i5 2400 and HD 7770 , I want to upgrade gpu to GTX 960 but my current psu it’s weak ( Corsair VS 350) so I’ll need some new psu. Budget I would say something around £40

that budget leaves very little room for options.

 

An i5 2400& GTX960 will require roughly 250watts under load, so, a decent 400-450w PSU will be good. Either Bitfenix Formula Gold, BeQuiet! Pure Power11, or, the real budget, though not fire hazard 

Corsair CX450M-CX450

FSP Hexa 85+ 450

Be Quiet! SystemPower 9 400-450w.

Or even Xilence Performance A+ 430w

 

these four are the cheapest recommended PSu-s on low budget. A 400-450w PSU will handle a 960, or later a 1660ti just fine.

 

I'd get this one for the price: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/t8c48d/be-quiet-pure-power-11-400-w-80-gold-certified-atx-power-supply-bn292
