I got an old computer that supposedly didnt work. I tested the power supply and found the standby 5v was working. Went on amazon and found an atx PSU for $30 and bought it for testing. And the computer worked.

But heres the thing, the original power supply had these specs: 1000314088

But the one i bought on amazon has these specs: 1000314086

This is an old computer that i plan to run as a headless dev machine and these are some of its specs: 1000314087

I know little to nothing about psus and just womder if this will be able to continuously power it or if i should return it and get a different one

Yeah, that'll work. It's rated at 480 vs. the original 380W, so power delivery should not be an issue.
