the specs look pretty good
basic ATX12V v2.0 compliance
but its not a well know make of model so how much windage it should be given is unkown

the Fortron 550, which is just an EPS compatible not compliant supply
is sort of the lowest common denominator when it comes to looks
I have an Antec that looks exactly like it (PP403X)
Its a single rail but 24 pin supply, whikle the supply your looking at is actually a dual rail and compliant ATX12V v2.0 supply (also 24 pin, but with the 4 pin aux)

thank you very much

I think I'd rather have an enermax EG-475P [470watt], dual rail, for $88 shipped

I don't quite know why it says it's only atx 1.3.. I thought the 4 pin header (2x2) which I can clearly see there was an atx 2.0 introduction

Lastly.. enermax psu's are rated at, I think, 75% efficiency.. so, a 470 @ 75% vs a 550 @ the FSP's 63% closes the gap a lot, since, that means, it actually takes the enermax less power to deliver the same payload.
