Help picking a power supply.

[42z3e67pt3l]

I was looking into buying a new power supply for my computer and have narrowed it down to two. Either a Seasonic S12 380 or Enermax Liberty 400. There is only 20 watts of difference between the two but when I look at 12V volt ratings, Enermax has a total of 40A and Seasonic has only 25A. I've heard Seasonic is very good but for the price of a S12 380, I could buy an Enermax Liberty 400. Is there a reason for the Seasonic power supply to be so much? My current setup is an AMD 4200 X2, 2 burners, 2 hd, and I will be adding a 7600GS soon.

They are both good.

I would guess the Seasonic's combined 12V at 25A. The Enermax's combined 12V IS 30A.
The Seasonic *might* use a few better componts in it's build. The Enermax offers semi-modulare cabling.
If the 7600GS is 12V hungry, go for Liberty.

I'm pretty sure the 7600gs is not 12v hungry... but the nermax liberty is very good, and like galvanized pointed out is modular. They both have the same efficiancy, so seasonics selling point here is quietness. If you are trying to keep the noise to an absolute minimum, go with the seasonic. Otherwise the enermax is a very good choice. Also, when they say dual 12v rails with 20amps each, that means eah rail can do a max of 20amps individually, not combined. They have a combined wattage output of 360w, which is 30amps.

As stated, they are both good. The Seasonic might have a couple better parts, but the Enermax is modular.
