I just bought an Antec Truepower 430W a couple of weeks ago and it has 26A on the 12V rail. Antec's website also collaborates this statement: http://www.antec.com/specs/true430_spe.html

It's obvious that the PSU model has underwent a revision by Antec and Newegg is yet to update the specifications.

Anyways, yes, the Antec True430 is a very stable and solid PSU (not to mention quiet) and I haven't noticed an increase in my case temp that some ppl complain about due to the slower fan speeds. Given my experience, I would recomend it to anybody (but take into account that I'm not exactly running a very power hungry system).
 
thanks a lot man i wasin doubt there, my pc isnt going to be too hungryas well so i think this will do. Any other issues u guys (and girls?) see here?

thanks
 
How hardcore are you about sound? I got a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz from buy.com for $36 shipped. This card sounds great to me (never tried an audiology) and I don't think I could be happier.

And I got my 1GB Kingston HyperX 3700 for $225. Have you looked anywhere else for prices? You should check out zipzoomfly, or if you're more bold (like me) pricegrabber.com. You've got to have standards and a plan to use pricegrabber.com, but it saved me at least $100 maybe more.
 
I'd probably go with a different manufacturer for the 6800GT. PNY isn't the best around, and there's no bundle. Personally I'd be tempted to give the LeadTek a try if I had room for it based on that massive copper cooler. Some of the others also have some bundled games. EVGA includes Doom 3 for example.
 
which nvidia gforce 6800 gt are there and which one is the best? also isnt the audio i got the best one out there for gaming?? thanks a lot for replying guys
 
I'm not too much into audio, so it very well might be the best for gameing. But I don't need THE best, so I can just settle for better than I had before. And the santa cruz and Logitech Z-3 speakers are definately better than I had before.
