No, please don't buy that crap. Get a decent PSU and just buy an LED strip. 

 

Also, if you don't have the rest of the build you can make it a lot better.

It is a normal PSU for what I can tell, but it has a blue LED that is sexy (in my opinion). Is this an ok brand? (THIS PC ISN"T FOR ME)

 

A GTX 970 and a no-name PSU I see...

Definitely would get something else... What is the budget for the entire system? What peripherals need to be included?

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

What he said. I also see a toshiba hdd and some random ssd. No clue about the ssd, but the toshiba hdd I´m pretty sure is a big no.

Does that $1000 include any peripherals? What does he use it for? Just gaming? Streaming? Rendering?

Mine was cheaper and has 750W.

That's not something to brag about....

RIP your PC. You should really stick to reputable brands. EVGA, Superflower, Corsair (Only if it's a good price,) etc.

Just because you have a no-name PSU doesn't make it "OK".... There are thousands of people who own Ford Pintos, and they are famous for exploding upon rear-impact. Just because someone survived a single rear-ending in one of them doesn't make them safe all of the sudden.

He can get a hell of a lot more for his money with an Intel part.
