my SMPS PSU does not explicitly mention the output wattage.. but it gives a table giving the output current.
There's a missing row on the top (http://postimg.org/image/p5gflfvxz/ what can be captured), which reads +12v, -12v, +5v, -5v, +3.3v in that order. Can the ouput watt be determined with this details?

Alright.. so its time for me to do a small upgrade.. planning to go for corsair cx430.. that should be good enough no? (already have gt620 graphics card for casual gaming)

 
That Corsair unit may work well, what is the motherboard you are powering with this - the same one the PSU went to originally? If the motherboard requires the -5v rail, the newer unit likely will not work. Let us know what motherboard/CPU combo you've got going there, if the -5v is needed, there are still PSU's available that have that

Note to SomeoneSomewhere: the -5v rail is what was dropped from the original ATX spec's, the white wire

how about Seasonic SS-400-ES.. looks like that will fit in my old cabinet.. my cabinet has vent for fan next to the power chord slot.. but cx430 has fan in the top :-s

but if the top of the cabinet is closed, doesn't the hot air stay inside the cabinet and increase the overall temperature??
