Its a forton AX500-A. Its not as a well known company and is even placed in the generic section of that website. But they make very good PSUs. The question comes down to is if i should buy one with one rail or buy one with dual rails on the 12v.
The Amps on that is on the 12v is one that is 16 and one that is 15 amps. I searched already and the three other threads i read on anandtech tells me that generaly one rail with more amps than two rails with split amps is better. That being said, the PSU is known to be good but someone on one of the three other dual rail said that depending on your system it might or might not work.
So heres my system, think that PSU will be enough to power it?
Chaintech VNF4 939 mobo
Winnie 3000+ (going to overclock to 2.0 from 1.8)
Corsair Value Ram (the one always on sale at newegg)
*6600GT/G6800 - havent bought yet, still looking on FS forums..
DVDR- probably a NEC
2 Cold Cathode light (blue 4 the curious)
Wireless Adapter (still looking on FS/FT forum)
300 giger DiamondMax 10 by Maxtor 16 cache (SATA-II)
My Centurion 10 case includes two fan.
I thinks thats it. I do believe the PSU will power it just fine. Im not sure tho and i dont have the money to really make a mistake. Better safe than sorry.
