Aopen 500W

[Carrots]

I am building an E6600 Conroe system. I want to overclock it as well, to about 3ghz.
Will an Aopen 500W ATX 2.0 12V PSU be enough? (only single 12V rail) I hear that it is a rebranded Fortron (as is the 700W), but am not able to confirm it.
I will have a 7900GT as well, and might one day want to go SLI.
In the event of the G80 one day coming out, what are my chances of keeping the same PSU.

I can get this PSU secondhand for less than half of a new 700W Aopen.

Monarch has the OCZ GXS 700W for $104.99!

I highly recommend getting the OCZ.

I am from South Africa... we dont get such good deals over here.

Are you talking about the OCZ GameXStream 700W Power Supply ?
Thats about $262 at our cheapest online store...

Compared to the $53 I can get the 500W Aopen for.

Now, back to the issue, is the 500W Aopen any good for my proposed setup?

The Aopen should work great

Can you provide a link to this PSU?

What is the +12V amperage rating?

My mistake, it is does have two 12V rails. (the pricelist makes no mention of this, and AOpen doesnt have this specific model on its site.)

12V1 = 16A
12V2 = 15A

Any chance of SLI with this?

Very lowend possibly, but I wouldn't count on it.

No SLi, but it can run the post in your OP easy.
