I bought this power supply and im wondering is it good, a family member tested it out with a paper clip on both ends and it turned on, but it was too big for my PC because it was a slimline. So does anyone have this and is it good. or should i buy another one.

It cost $16 and you want to know if it's good ? :heink: 
It's a piece of crap, 480 watts, a single 18 amp 12v rail, litle red voltage switch :lol:  :lol:  :lol: 
It doesn't fit your machine :non: 

Yes, you should buy another one, it's going to cost you more to get a decent psu and since you need a slimline you'll need to measure what you've got and do some research before buying another one

Here's an example of a good power supply

No, sorry
It usually helps if we know your video card.
At $40 this 380 watt Antec with a combined 12v output of 28 amps is much more powerful than the pos you had linked, the fact that it has a pcie power connector means it can handle more powerful cards without the use of an adapter, and is as cheap as I'm willing to reccomend
