Thermaltake does not make good PSU.

Get an Antec VP 550, it should be within your budget.

Its of really bad quality and does not provide anywhere NEAR 500W in usable power.

Here is a list of PSUs that are rated.

Get from Tier1, tier 2a, or tier 2b. Everything else should be avoided.

CWT built with 2x6+2 pin pcie power cables. chinese caps on the secondary side. that alone places it at tier 3 . more like a cx corsair unit i would say.! here is a review of a similar unit. its not a trusted review but at least we can make something of it. clean soldering and been able to output its rated power.!

if you cant find any of the higher tiers as Novuake suggests i would say it can be an option. thankfully mine is still running strong!
