it says 750W max power? Doesn't sound legit, but if it says that 750w is its output, it should be okay

No that psu only quotes 2x 12v @ 10Amp. That GPU I think recommends 42A on a single rail. Your current gpu has a lower power requirement but is probably stressing that psu already

This. It's best used as a doorstop.
It's certainly not a 750W PSU, it claims to be a 375W PSU but in reality it's more like a 250W PSU.
There's no real information available for it, even the "official" site gives very limited information.
At best it's a cheap, misleadingly labelled PSU. At worst it's genuinely dangerous.
