I'm going to assume 350watts is enough, since it is for almost every system. In which case I recommend this Sparkle, over the Xilo.

Yeah, what kind of system is this PSU going to run?

I would like to see over 20A on the +12, even from a 350W (and 25A or over on 450W) . Look at the Silverstone (made by Enhance) ST360 or the Sparkle FSP350-60PN.
Both are good 100,000 hr. rated units.
