Thanks for the replies. Although, you all have your reservations about the brand and such, I still am confused as to whether this is a legitamte option (power-wise). Right now, I think I have narrowed my options down to 3: 1. Keep my current 20-pin (generic and too loud for my liking)...

I currently have a 450W power supply with 25A on the 12V rail. However it is a 20pin (yes I read the sticky post on 20pin vs 24pin). I thought if I was upgrading the rest of my system, I might as well get a power supply that fits my system just right. So is 14A and 12A not enough? If rail...
