Those power supplies are not meant for gamers/overclockers, you can get way better for the money.

A 550w xfx unit should do you justice while not tearing a hole...

In AU$ I know you can get an Nvidia gtx 750Ti which offers high clock speeds but I've heard that it consumes a bit of power and can be very loud. On the AMD team you can also get an Radeon r9 270 which has lower clock speeds ( not enough to make a huge difference) but lower power consumption and less noise.

I have never head of that brand of power supply.

Could you open your case and post back with the complete stats on the sticker? Or a photo if possible?

A r9 280 should fit that budget.
