Default PSU advice

I'm still thinking of what parts to buy, but based on the "assumed" specs below, can anyone recommend any PSUs?

I plan to overclock to good speeds.

Is the one i chose below, provide more than 30Amps on the 12V

Thanks.

The one you picked is 30A on the 12V rails (no more and no less ).

My personal recommendation under $100 is this one:
SILVERSTONE SST-ST50EF ATX12V 500W $87.50 with 35A on the 12V rails.

Nice, what else is good?
I don't have a budget for the PSU, but something enough to run my specs plus more amps on the 12V rail would be good.


How do i tell what the amperes is based on the newegg info?

The HIPER says +3.3V@30A,+5V@36A,+12V1@20A,+12V2@18A,-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@2.5A

Other good ones (incomplete list,since there are many more):
OCZ GameXstream: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...sc=gamexstream (600W version is more than enough for the rig you're planning)
Enermax Liberty 620W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817194004
PC Power & Cooling: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=&srchInDesc= Best there is, at a price. 610W Silencer would be very nice (49A on 12V rail).
Seasonic: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=&srchInDesc=
Silverstone: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=&srchInDesc=

Single rail would be better wouldn't it?

I'm not too sure on what the differences are. Can you tell me about it please?

Thanks man!

So do you recommend that HIPER?

Single rail is better in terms of power distribution (no light load on one rail and a very heavy load on another). Also, in terms of quality they are very good.

The best pick of what I listed is imo the 610W PC Power & Cooling Silencer. Single rail, and hey, it's PC P&C... doesn't get any better than that.

The Hiper is simply too light for a rig like yours (only 30A on the 12V rails)

Yeah i think PC P&C are good too, but i can't seem to find any retailers here in the UK...

What else provides high amperage single rail?

Although less powerful than the PC Power & Cooling units, this Silverstone Zeus 560W is a very good PSU:

Single 12V rail of 38A is enough for your planned rig
