Some questions

[Nullvoid]

OK, well I've done lots of reading around, but there are still a couple of things I'm struggling with.

1. I'm in the market for an efficient psu, and ideally I would have liked to purchase the silverstone st50ef-plus, but I can't find it for sale anywhere in the UK. Someone did mention that the akasa greenpower was also based on the same enhance base model(enp-5150gh). Now 500w is slightly overkill for my system so I thought I would go for the 400w model(specs here). The only worry I have is that its specs differ slightly from the enhance enp-5140gh, specifically in terms of max amperage on the 12v rail(s).

Are they really both the same psu? Will there be a difference in quality? Any guidance would be nice since I'm not exactly rolling in cash and would like to find out before I actually buy it.

2. I don't yet have a multimeter for poking around inside my case, but, if I do buy one it would be from here. From those they have listed, could anyone recommend one of the cheaper models that would be sufficiently good(and somewhat accurate)?

Thanks in advance.

They are the same PSU, but Silverstone tells me that they increased the limiters on "their model."

Sorry I can't help you find on in the UK.

I "think" that almost any of those DMM's should be fine.

Check out some of these PSU's.

Get a more powerful PSU, 550W isnt overkill its more of a safety margin.
Otherwise if you buy another graphics card next year, you'll be getting another PSU as well!
The next gen DX10 performance parts look like they will be between 300W and 450W each!!
A 600W PSU with between 25A and 38A (+ PC requirements) on 12V looks like a good minimum now lol.
