Default VC killing my PSU??

Ok the other day I was running rthdribl 1.2 and after about an hour I lost signal to montior this happen with the last 2 cheapo PSU I had. At the time I had 7x80mm fans, 2x120, plus my VC fan, I also have 1 HDD 1 floppy and 1 cd burner and 1 PCI mediacard. In the PSU calc I should have enough power although my VC is overvolted and clocked. I will soon have a new MB and HSF so I will be OCing my CPU and adding another 120mm fan. I recently dropped 2 of the 80mm's and my front LEDs in the hopes that I may fix the issue.

I am willing to buy a new PSU but I need to know which one I have 120.00 USD MAX!!! no execptions. I was looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104018
it has quad 12v rails but I dont know the amps please help fellas.

EDIT just found out it has 10 amps on each rail so about 40 amps total minus a few of course will this work?

Although you cant go wrong with FSP Source I would suggest simply a Sunbeam NUUO, its plenty of power for your system and much more, plus its a solid power supply with dual rails. No sense in spending too much:

NUUOs have been known to have problems every few batches, and they also are modular. Now, this may seem like a pro, but modular means it will have more resistance, so it won't be as good (just read Chozart's FAQs).

EDIT: Yeah, that FSP should be good.

I downloaded the PDF file from FSP website and it says 10 per rail. I would rather have way too much power than not enough you know what I mean. So how does the amps work does it draw X amount from each rail or X amount as need from the PSU as a whole? What I mean is, the PSU I have now has 18 amps on each rail so does that mean my VC has ~18amp to draw from? And in this case would it only have 10amps availible?

Ok fellas 1, 2, or 3 and of course the original FSP I was looking at. I actually am leaning towards the Enermax but I am not really all that sure on their quality as I have not heard too much about them. Please let me know soon TY.

The Enermax psu's offer great system stability and are good PSu's you wouldnt regret getting one. I would go with a 500-600Watt 30-35 amp one if you can.
