What is the combined 12v amps?
It is rare that both rails can put out their max at the same time.
48 amps is a lot, I suspect the combined is closer to 42amps, or should be for a minamum 600watter.
Edit
Top quality 600watters are in the area of 46 to 50 watts.
thats all the information that has been presentend to me, i have not yet recieved the system, all i can do look at the 600 watts and think that it should be good enough. what makes a power supply good or not? Im just hoping it will run everything just fine without destroying my entire system. Would they sell me a 600 watt power supply that cant run a 500 watt build?

is that psu the same that i had gotten? I got a standard psu not an xtreme. Also, is there anyhope at all that my system will run just fine?
Hi - yes there is hope that your sys will run fine, it's most likely the same PSU in the link. Xtremegear is
cyberpowerpc's handle for their PSU's not whether they are std or xtreme.
You just need to be aware that it is a lower quality PSU & could cause problems.
It's back to what I said on prebuilt's, lower quality components, especially the PSU.
I had a similar situation, I put a low quality PSU in my PC before I knew any better, as soon as
I found out I replaced it even tho I had not yet got a discrete GPU(had to wait 2 more month's).
Not sure that PSU would have harmed my system, but to me it was worth waiting for the GPU to
not take that chance.
