Which PSU would you choose?

If you had these system specs:

Intel Quad Q6600
2GB RAM
500GB SATA HD
8800 GT
DVDRW

and HAD to choose between these 2 psu's, which one would you pick?

generic 575 watt specs:
+3.3V @ 38A
+5V @ 40A
+12V @ 25A
-5V @ 0.5A
-12V @ 0.8A
+5VSB @ 2A

generic 400 watt specs:
+3.3V @ 20A
+5V @ 14A
+12V1 @ 14A
+12V2 @ 13A
-12V @ 0.3A
+5VSB @ 2.5A
 
What's the +12V combined on the "generic 400 watt". It's not 27A. And it's probably not 25A. So based on the lack of information here, I would say the generic 575W.
 
Im a psu noob. Why isnt the +12V combined on the "generic 400 watt" 27 (14+13)?

Read this FAQ.

If I had to, I'd go for the generic 575W. However I would not bother wasting my money on it an d just wait till I have the cash for a good quality PSU. Buy it nice or buy it twice.
