Corsair Builder Series CXM 500W is a good one?

 

yes

Is it a real 405w psu? How many amps can it deliver on the +12v rail, what psu is it?

If it's a high quality psu, then it's doable, not ideal, but doable. 

 

Although, I question whether a "405w" psu can be decent i any sense.

Doable is the word I don't like. I like to know that I can do it for sure.

 

the pc is a Advent 

Already don't like it.

It really doesn't matter what the pc is, what matters is what the psu is..... 

 

Although, I don't have high hopes.

Already don't like it.

400w should be more than enough....Anandtech puts total power consumption during Furmark at 330~, so account for a higher watt cpu, and 400w would be fine (if it's a decent psu, which by the sound of it, it's not).

CWT actually makes decent PSUs, and it is able to deliver all 405w on the +12v rail/s. 

 

Finding any decent information (i.e. reviews) about it though will probably prove to be impossible...but it should be fine, although I would certainly recommend replacing it with a 500w 80+ bronze unit from Corsair/EVGA (I say Corsair/EVGA as they both make quality PSUs and there 500w 80+bronze units are usually the cheapest PSUs you can get).

As I said, I'd recommend replacing it with a Corsair/EVGA 500w bronze unit (corsair/EVGA as their 500w 80+bronze is usually the cheapest psu available).

 

You'd need a molex to pcie power adapter. I would highly recommend upgrading it -- whats the rest of the system's specs btw?
