There are PSU's that are technically better and provide cleaner power, but from a pure power requirement, it will be more than enough.

A PSU is the last place I would try to save money in a PC as it's vital to the stability and safety of all of your components.

So, my advice:
Don't buy anything from Evetech, ever.
Don't buy a cheap brand like Gamdias for a vital component.

Get yourself something like this. I'm running one and it's totally sufficient for my build. Probably won't power a 4090, but should cover you for most builds, it's a known and trusted brand and comes with a 5 year warranty.

The one you're looking at doesn't even mention a warranty on the product page. Yikes.

It's from Evetech so even if Gamdias offered 100 years warranty you would get expiring store credit at best

Thanks for the input guys. @Baas_se_Haas I wouldn't personally skimp on a PSU. The build is for a friend of mine. Looking for the best bang for buck on a PSU and that was the cheapest atleast bronze rated PSU I found. Read one review and saw it apparently uses Andyson internals but I will rather advise him to go superflower as you guys recommend 👍

Did you see the part about not letting them buy from Evetech? Just checking.

The problem with "bang for buck" PSUs is they sometimes involve a lot of bang which leads to a lot more buck. Think of it as a prostitute vs. an escort. An escort will give you a great night. A prostitute you will remember forever when you go for your annual herpes check up.
