that's exactly what it means. it may not work at all, you might see random parts stop working and it may not even boot at times. you really should get a new psu that can actually power the whole system.

what are the system specs? i can help determine power needs and can easily help suggest a good option to upgrade to should it be necessary.

GTX 1050 is usually a low power card, but that would be cutting it.

100w cpu + 75w gpu + rest of system. you need about 350w or so to be safe.

350W - 175W = 175W for the rest of the system. Really? I doubt any "RoS" uses that many watts. That's insane. I usually put the figure at 50W unless the person is running lots of drives or LEDs. 175W is way to much.

Are you sure it doesn't say 230V? That's the voltage input for Greece. Old/junk PSUs have a small switch so you can select what voltage to use, 115V/230V. It's normally red but I've seen other colors. The voltage info is on a sticker on the side of the PSU. Let me link a random one.

This is the first PSU on I saw on Newegg.com. If you look at the pictures you should see something like this.

This chart tells you pretty much everything you need to know what they claim the PSU can do. 50C output, minor rails up to 120W, can do nearly the entire 850W on the 12V rail, but combined can still only do 850W. You need to find the chart on your PSU to get the info. Warning! Lower end PSUs either hide the data, or lie about it. That's why we read reviews where they test the output and see how well it works.

Edit: That's a good PSU. Not the greatest, but it will work for your needs just fine. If you can find it in your budget that's a good unit to buy.

actually figured about 75w extra, then a bit more for some buffer. sure it's more than enough but not like you they sell 300w psu's :) a 450w would be way too much but is about as low as it goes for normal brands. anything less is usually real expensive if you can find it.



and that 550w corsair would be more than ample should you need to upgrade. 4745454b hit on something i did not with the 230v concern. may end up that your psu is a lot stronger than you thought and it is good as is. you can upload a pic of the psu label if you need to and we can interpret it for you. looks like the one shown above with all the specs of the psu on it.
