What do you think about this PSU?

It's a Cooler Master Real Power 450W Power Supply with active PFC and a 120 mm fan, its apparently quiet and has 24-pins, just what I need, the dual rail isn't really what I'm looking for but I'll take. All for $82 shipped, any opinions? Will be pushing a 3200+ Winney with a gig a'RAM and an x800xl. Thanks

Should power your system.

Output specs are not up to par with other brands for this price point $80.

Any suggestions? How many amps over 12V should I be looking for?

22a total is enough to power your system.

Yeah they all look nice but I dont think any of them are 24-pin.

Do I need a 24-pin PSU for my PCI-e 24pin Mobo? courtesy of Flexy.

Single rail is more flexible and efficient than dual rail. Dual rail is an artifact of the new ATX standard - more a fad than anything. The main reason for its inclusion in the spec is safety not anything that is really needed to support new mobos. Avoid dual rail! Just be careful as very high current availability on the one 12V rail can be lethal under certain circumstances.
