I have no idea where you heard about PSU's storing power or what that might even entail because, well, it's not true/real (excluding individual capacitors within the PSU that do store a charge for a while even after it's been turned...

Can't tell exactly how much power is available total because you can't add together both of the 12v rails normally. What I can tell you is that this is a PSU with an ancient design topology because of the ridiculous amount of power...

It's junk, plain and simple. It only has 570 watts available on the 12v which, for a modern PSU, would pass for at most a 600 watt PSU, not 700. The large amount of power available on the 3.3 and 5v rails indicates an older design...

All of these posts regarding "make sure you have enough amps" are pretty much pointless. Reason being is that unless you are buying a pretty old PSU made, for exmaple, Pentium 3 systems and such you really don't need to worry about it....
