money better spent going with corsair vx450.

I wouldn't go with the Thermaltake; IT doesn't have the wattage nor amperage needed, it's not exactly quality, and it's also not exactly well built.

VX 450 is where its at.

That PSU sports a single 18A on the +12V, and for what you have, you want at least 25A available, 30A if you can help it. I'd consider it if I were running a Socket A Athlon or S478 Pentium system, but not for anything current. More parts are being shifted to run off the +12V, so 18A is only going to get you so far.
