Well yeah, normally I would steer you away from it but you PC is low power so it doesn't matter that much, but if you managed to find a similar price on another PSU it might be worth looking into, but as I just stated it would do the job if it's your only reasonably priced option.

So I'm buying a new PC (I've bought all the parts,now the last thing I need is a PSU),so I found one for a GREAT deal on one of my local websites for 85KM (About 45€)

I personally think It will be enough for this PC (Note that I will not torture the PC,will not overclock or anything similar)

#CPU AMD FX 4300

#GPU AMD Radeon R7 260X (Currently have GeForce GT520 but will buy the new one soon)

#RAM 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury

#MOBO GIGABYTE 78LMT-USB3 AM3+

 

So yes,thank you in advance. (Note that I'm on a budget build,and I need to respond NOW to the seller of this product)

Well your PC isn't very power demanding at all, so really an PSU would do (unless it's a fire hazard model which this isn't) but it is still a bad psu, though it isn't powering much so whatever. (pretty much if it's the best deal you can get it will do the job)
