I've done the paperclip test and saw or heard nothing suspicious. But would it be a bad idea to use it in my gaming system? Estimated wattage for my pc would be like 400w.

why not, many PSUs have a 10 year warranty

Secondary PC [Why did I bother]:

CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G | GPU: Vega 3 iGPU | RAM: 8 GB DDR4 3000 MHz | Case: Corsair 88R | PSU: Corsair VS 650 | SSD: WD Green M.2 SATA 120 GB | Motherboard: MSI A320M-A PRO MAX | OS: Windows 11 Pro for Workstations

Sony SAL-75300 75-300mm ƒ/4.5-5.6

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)

Also, what's your budget for the PSU? And do you not have a working one in your system already?

Bought it of f Marketplace (Dutch eBay). 've done the paperclip test and saw or heard nothing suspicious. But would it be a bad idea to use it in my gaming system? My systems estimated wattage is 389w.

I have a Masterwatt 650 running in my mom's pc at the moment and it is almost 2 years old. I don't think you will have an issue unless you bought it dirt cheap. It also has a 3-yr warranty on it.
