Def get a new one. Smelling? Unknown brand? No 80+ certification? Ticking alot of red flags right there.

Well first of all what are your PC specs?

I'd just go ahead and properly dispose of the PSU at once and not risk using it any further unless you like a pc customized with real flames.

WOW!  That is a terrible power supply.

 

Just replace it.  Surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Buying a PSU for a change i see ... No, that wouldn't cut it. And you still didn't tell us what's your PC specs.
