this is a user review, but summs it up pretty well, even on what is considered a low end pc it cant hold up to spec:

Now if this psu is a few years old that's even worse, because the low end chinese capacitors will likely be on their way out making its rated spec even lower. Buy yourself a quality psu if you want a gaming GPU.

If you buy that you will be in the same boat your in now...... a sinking one.
Golden rules of buying a PSU:
Never ever ever buy second hand.
Never buy no-name generic brands.
If the price is too good to be true then it probably is.
Find a review where they load/ripple/noise test the PSU and tear-down to assess build quality.
Check toms PSU Tier list, buy something from tier 1, 2 or 3: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
*If in doubt and you can't be bothered putting in the homework, buy a psu from one of the big 5 you usually can't go wrong - Antec, Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic or XFX. These brands have a long standing reputation, i cant think of any of the models from these manufacturers that haven't got, at bare minimum satisfactory, but usually very good reviews. They consistently are able to reproduce their rated power within ATX spec, which can't be said for many other brands.
