ok right now i have a 400w peice of poo maxpower with 14A on the +12v rail. i was wondering with that setup what i would need for the 12v rail for a new ps, and whether or not to go dual rail or not. thanks guys
 
How far do you plan to upgrade before replacing the PSU? What is your budget?
 
well i was thinking about buying an antec p160 case after christmas and a psu to go with it... the only upgrading other than taht for hardware in the near future would be 2 more 512 sticks of ram... i dont really want to spend much more than i dunno $75 on it cause im probably going have to get it shipped to me here in canada which won't be too cheap... and with the case that will be a few bucks
