It's been a looooooong time since I've bought a power supply, and back when I did you didn't have to worry terribly much about things like video cards power draw etc, heck I still have a Ti4200 card! But now I hear flashy words like "rails" etc, and get the basic gist of it, but with my new system (most likely a e6300 with a X1950, pro or XT) I still am a bit confused about power supplies and how much is needed, I see numbers mentioned about how you need xx # of amps on the 12 volt side/rail, but what about something like this power supply, which has 3-12v rails, each which supplies 16 amps, is this going to be sufficient?
Finally, is this PSU any good? I really don't want to have to spend $100+ on a powersupply if I can avoid it.
