No, all but a few of the higher wattage LC Powers are pure junk. This isn't one of the exceptions. Wouldn't put this in anything but a basic office PC with very old parts that I didn't care about.

That's not how PSUs work. Just because they physically turn on does not mean they're delivering safe, clean, power to the PC. You can only verify a PSU is "working perfectly fine" with thousands of dollars in load testing equipment. It's a bit like saying a person who just died of a heart attack has a heart that was perfectly fine five minutes before the heart attack, when we know that's not true.
These are cutrate, junk parts, full of corner-cutting and the cheapest Chinese capacitors they can source.

I'm not angry. I just don't want your friend to come back here in six months with fried parts and an empty budget. The power supply is the most important part of the PC, so we take it very seriously here!

It's a rather mediocre PSU, but it's better than the current one. Generally speaking, the Corsair CXs (the new ones with black-and-gray lettering) and the SeaSonic 520/620 PSUs are the least expensive that are recommendable.
