Any thoughts on the Antec TruePower line?

My case comes with the Antec True330 PSU. I am planning on either 1.6a or 1.8a at 2.4GHz, depending on how much nerve I can muster between now and when I buy tonight or tomorrow. Will this PSU be sufficient for either or both?

+3.3V 28A
+5V 30A
+12 V 17A
+5VSB 2A
-5V 0.5A
-12V 2A

I'm using an Antec 300W power supply (although I want one of those new TruePower ones) and my voltage is very good. I'm running the 2.0A and all of my voltage is within speck. I'm not an overclocker so if you plan on overclocking I don;t know how this PSU will perform.

The Truepower 330 should be good for just about anything out there right now as long as you don't overload your machine with components that draw excessive power. It is more than sufficient for the 1.6a or the 1.8a or higher.

The Antec "TurePower" PSU is the best on the market. Beating also the enermax. The enermax is just popular because it has dual fans, but the trupower has dual fans as well.

Antec PSU is for people that know their shit.

Enermax is for the trendy group that buys stuff just for the brand name.

Antec vs Enermax.... Antec is better, but just the TruePower series. The 3.3 and 5v combined rating on the truepower PSUs are good.

there is no TCO combined rating on the true power, they have three independent rails +12 +5 +3.3
there is only an overall power rating.
THATS what makes them so good.

and sparkle makes the pcpower

my 430 watt true power actually has lower voltage readings than my 400 W sparkle, but the FULL RATED AMPERAGE is available on each line - no matter whats going on elsewhere.

Will the 330W True that comes with my Antec case be sufficient for light to moderate oc tinkering?
