There are no specs, for all you know it has 16a on the 12v. You get what you pay for with psu's.

How long will it be till you have money? If it's not too long I would definitely reccoment putting the money you are going to spend on this towards getting a top of the line PSU. Small step upgrades end up costing a lot more in the long run

Why do you need a new one at all? 16A should be more than enough to power your current rig.

For that particular setup, I think you would be fine cheaping out a little, but that PSU looks really shady. I found nothing about it other than on that site, which says nothing. These from Tigerdirect.ca look good in your price range:
Coolmax 400W
Ultra 350W
Hipro 300W

I wouldn't count on it if it is 22 bucks... I've never heard of Deer either.
I think it would do as well as your current PSU. there some pretty good $50 ones out there if you can find a little more cash.

Its actually not!! One more cd-rom drive and my system doesnt even boot. But i need a new one because im getting Bsods, and my system keeps restarting, thats very annoying when your playing vid games.
