Which power supply should I use??

[jfunk]

Been running my Duron900 system in my current case for a while. Getting stuff to build a 1600+ machine, and I got a new case. Question is, should I use the new case or my current case for the 1600+?

Current PS is NOT AMD recommended, but here are the specs:
Future Power ESP-400ATXP3P4
+3.3 = 20A
+5 = 28A
-max load 165W
+12 = 12A peak 14A
-5 = .6A
-12 = .6A
+5VSB = 2A


New PS IS AMD recommended (has a sticker that says it is, although I don't see it on list...mabye rebadged??):
QMAX LC-A300ATX
+3.3 = 20A
+5 = 30A
-max load 160W
+12 = 12A
-5 = .5A
-12 = .8A
+5VSB = 2A


I don't know enough about PS to know which things are more important and which is better.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

Here is a pretty good article on power supplies. It kinda cleared it all up for me.

Old PSU had a combined power of 206W.
New PSU had a combined power of 216W.

Thus, the new one is slightly better.
