I'm not sure I'd have much faith in a $50 600W PSU. The Corsair TX and CX 650's are around $100 off their website, and those are solid units.

Budget EVGA units are never a good choice.

 

Which make and model components do you want to fire up with that 600w thing?

Just fine.  Bunch of PSU snobs around here.  EVGA makes just fine power supplies, even the $50 units.

EVGA doesn't make any PSUs, and their entire lineup is a mess. They have absolute garbage units rated at 25C and 30C, and group regulated ones. Just because you have no idea how to judge if a PSU is good or not, doesn't mean that they are good. Please have the decency to not spew absolute BS about things that you know nothing about

It has the bare minimum of DC-DC, but it's rated at 30C, and has a sleeve bearing fan. You should get a lower wattage, higher end PSU instead. If you have a 980 that only has a single PCIe connector, you could get the CX450 for $55, assuming you're buying from the US.
