My current PC specs:

MB: Asus P8H61 PRO REV 3.0
PSU: Njoy Rogue 500RGE
CPU: i5-2500(non-K) (at 3.7GHZ boost)
GPU: Asus R7 260X 2GB GDDR5

HDD: 1TB WD Black
SSD: Kingston V300 120GB
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO

Case: Njoy Supernova
The PC cost me 450€ (around 500$).

Now i want to upgrade from R7 260X to GTX680, but i don't want spend extra money on PSU. Can i have it running with this PSU (i won't OC) or i need to save more money for better PSU?

well that is always a lottery with units like this .
it can "work" just "fine" for another 5 years
or it can die next week taking your motherboard and graphics card in the process .
i can tell you this:
the ripple and noise are out of ATX specs most of the time , capacitors are craptastic ,
fan is noisy , protections are probably non existend and efficiency is terrible .

romanian power supply? I would stay the hell away from it! There's no reviews or info on it in english, spanish, italian, french, or german, so unless the romanian reviews say it uses seasonic as their OEM or back up their review with proper oscilloscope data, get a new PSU, preferably a seasonic (available everywhere in europe)

Im running this PSU already 6 months without any problems. At the moment when i bought it was 10euro deal with a friend. This is kind of budget PC and i didn't wanted to spend much on PSU.

Anything under three times that is asking for trouble, and even at 30 it's iffy for anything above 430W!
