Hey guys, im going to buy a pc from a local seller. They have a gaming pc these are the components:

  • Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 OC 2GB Video Card
    ASUS DRW-24D5MT 24x Internal DVD Burner
    Thermaltake Versa H15 Mini-Tower Case with 450W PSU
    Intel Core i5 4460 Quad Core LGA 1150 3.2GHz CPU Processor
    Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2H LGA 1150 Motherboard
    G.SKILL RipjawsX 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Desktop Memory F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
    Seagate ST1000DM003 1TB Barracuda Desktop HDD 3.5” 7200RPM SATA3 Hard Drive

Is the powersupply that comes with the case good enough to power this computer? I want to do a couple hours of gaming a day, so, yeah..
Thanks for your replies!
 
Solution
Yes a solid quality psu can easily run those specs. Your particular psu is NOT very good and I can not recommend using it(assuming it came with the case)
It comes with a Thermaltake Litepower 450. Made by FSP, it has a pair of +12volt rails @ 17 amps each for a total of 400 watts. The primary cap is an 85 degree Teapo. Secondary caps are also Teapo. This is not a great quality power supply but there are worse ones too. It will serve your purpose but when you upgrade your video card it's likely that you'll need a new PSU too, assuming it lasts till then. If the place you're buying from installed a different PSU then obviously none of this applies.
