You can just wait for evga midweek madness, they sell everything cheap there 

I can get the GS 700 for 40$ used rather than getting a new for 80-100$, which I definately dont want to pay for a PSU in this build.

 

It already has a 4+2 pin that will work, and the previous owner says he moved to a new pc and wanted to sell the old and it was playing on a GTX 960.

 

If it is good enough for my current needs then I think it is a good deal for this cheap budget build. What do you recommend?

U9 500W, BV/BR500W. I don't really know about used PSU, but for other parts I probably would reccomend it.

GS 700 is ~10 Years old and a lower end unit that even if new wouldn't be (much) better than a new Corsair CX.

So get a new CX or be quiet Pure Power 11.

500 or 550W is something I'd recommend, 400 or 450W if you are really not getting more than a 150€ GPU.

If you don't have the money for a new 700W Gold or Platinum PSU, you don't need it.

Simple as that.

You should look into 400 and 450W units, 550W at most.

That is what you really need...
