Back again for more hand holding and opinion solicitation...
Woud this powersupply work for the rig I am building, or would this one be better?

i5 2500k (likely OC'ing)
Gigabyte p67a ud3
Gigabyte GTX560 ti (the 900 mhz version)
g-skill 4 (2x2) gb ddr3 1600 1.5v
dvd burner
3 120mm case fans

So will the Neo Eco 620 work fine, or should I go with the EarthWatts 650?

If you SLI, you need to balance your loads with the CPU and fans n stuf, so single rails are easier.

Actually you don't need to balance... Also OCP stops being useful after 40A, as it'll take to long to activate when it's tripped.

Completely incorrect, except on the rare poorly-designed unit. Basically, the manufacturer has already "balanced" the rails for you.

The NeoECO is better than the Earthwatts for performance reasons, nothing to do with rails.

Would you mind explaining a bit more about that PSU and its performance? You got me curious now
