Default New ATX 1.3 PSU - Fortron 550-8 FSPFSC 550w for 23€ could this be real?

I am looking for an new PSu for an system with AMD k7 3200, ASUS A7N8-X.
It is a 5v & 3v powered board, at least there are no PIV plugs and only 6.3V VRM input capacitors.
As quality ATX 1.3 PSU`s are getting rare, i looked at ebay for some good FSP350-60MDN units with the older design.

There i stumbled uppon this:

550-8 FSPFSC, 260w combined power.

Now i think if it is an genuine FSP ones, i would not bother to take one at about 23€ (even it has only 80mm fan..).
otherwise i probably have to go with an LC Power Super Silent LC6550 V2.0 for about 40€
Most common PSU`s from more reputable brands have way to low 3.3v & 5v combined power (e.g. 135w for an Seasonic S12) for an k7 system.
It is even getting harder to get one of the FSP PSU`S with more then 135w combined power and 12cm fan.
The LC-Power units still follow the older ATX 1.3 design, and ok the 12cm fan would be certainly a big plus (the rig was equipped with an Toppower build Bequiet BQT-P4 420w - failed with bulging Fuckyou after 5 years moderate use).
I certainly will fix the be quiet, but owner want a new PSu and preferably with more power
