Seems like it has 80+ gold. If that's true i guess it's fine.

Why?

If it is the Bronze version and not the GOld one (Gold should be OK):
Group regulated

no Protection 

bad voltage regulation due to Group regulation

ancient design

hella loud

 

And other stuff. Its just comparable to a 30€ one....

Not for myself, for my neighbour, he doesn`t knwo much of computer, so I was just worried of that PSU becasue it has no warranty and it is 550W. I know that FX series and R9 290 are big power consumper. I asked my fried to tell me is it a gold version or some other and than I will report here.
