Another cool link, gj F1! ;)
I particularly like the part about the importance of 12v and 5v and the rails.
a PSU with a 80AMP 12v output but on a 4 rail system is a lot less desirable than the one with 70/60AMP output based on a single or even 2 rail system.
People should also know the difference of maximum output Wattage they normally seen on the PSY means nothing if the average output is laughably low. Also review the certifications the PSU obtained on what tests it passed!
Also a label indicating 'AMD/Intel Recommend' is not the same thing as 'AMD/Intel Approved'.
I don't care for spending a bundle on name brand components just case but in the case of PSU, going cheap is almost always a sure way a big headaches down the road...PSU, Mobo and RAM are the 3 most important components andt should try to purchase the best you can afford! ;)
