yup, that is a seriously scummy looking chinesium PSU you've found there. I'd advise not plugging it into anything you care about or spent money on.

you are correct, i got a bit lost there, i think i saw crossfire in one of the links posted and got carried away lol. Now i'm with you, yes, a 435 watt seasonic will be fine for your 660

Look at johnyguru or some other more reputable review not people's review. Those people don't have sort of equipment that can do ultimate testing

I've got a similar PSU by XFX that I bought for about £34, been holding up well so far and runs cool even when I'm pushing my setup. You shouldn't have any issues running it with that GPU, assuming the majority of the wattage is available on the 12V line

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

That TR2 is TIER 7, the bottom of the Tier list

 

The fact that its a tier 7 (out of 7, higher being worse), and only four power supplies are on this list should tell you everything you need to know
