There seems to be a bit of misleading labeling on that PSU. It says, "MODEL: ATX-700W" which seems to imply 700 Watts but that's just a model number. If you multiply the Volts times the Amps for each voltage shown in the DC Output part of the label to get the Watts and add them all together you get 530.5 Watts.

That may still enough overall for your needs depending on what else is in your system. But it is still a poor quality power supply.

If you're completely sure that picture is your PSU then it's 700w so you should be fine. Just incase you should just open up your case and take a quick look on the side of your psu, it usually says the wattage just like how it shows the wattage in that picture.

Any "700 w" power supply that does not even have a 6 AND 8 pin CPU connector is far far from capabile of outputing anything near 700w.
You will probably be ok wiht it for something as low as a 250, but I wouldnt even run a GTX 1050 on it like chugalug suggested.

That PSU is likely a tier 5 replace immediatly one. THe kind that once put under any real load they not only die but they fry the rest of your parts with it.

Probably right, I am just very cautious when this "high output" psu does not even have a 6pin connector.
I personally wouldnt even put it in grandma's low watt processor internet browsing PC.
