Nice.
+3,3V = 28A, +5V = 36A, +12V = 29A, -12V = 0,8A, -5V = 0,5A, +5Vsb = 2,5A
The reason I asked is cause I almost have the same pc specs you do. I knew I should have gotten a 500W PSU or better when I placed my original order. And I asked folks, is an Antec 430W dual rail PSU good enough for my system keeping in mind I want to overclock and people said yes it's fine. But it turns out that it isn't. It's not enough power let alone enough amperage on the rails themselves to overclock with. Sure the 430W is good enough to run stock, but even then in the Asus A8N SLI manual it says the recommended amperage for the motherboard is 18A. Well the Antec TruePower II 430W only has 17A on each rail so when I overclocked it buckled and shuts off my machine automatically.
I'm getting the Rosewill 550W single rail PSU.
Specs are:
+3.3V@30A, +5V@50A, +12V@35A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@1A, +5VSB@2.5A

It might be an overkill for only running 1 video card, 1 hard drive, 1 dvd burner but I want to make sure that I have enough power this time.
