Hello everyone, I came across this PSU and was wondering if it's a reliable one. I would be building a PC with R5 3600 and RTX2060. https://shopee.com.my/THERMALTAKE-TOUGHPOWE...9688.3812357774

Had some troubles looking for reliable reviews hence came here hoping someone might share their expertise / experience with me. Thanks for your advice!
