have a couple questions on a power supply purchase I'm going to be making.

Background:

Mobo: ECS nForce4-A754 (PCI Express)
CPU: Athlon 64 3400+
Video Card: nVidia 6600 256MB PCI Express
RAM: 1 GB stick
2 HDD, 1DVD+RW, 1FDD, 1 case fan, 3 PCI (not PCI-E) cards.

I have my eye on a Skyhawk ATX-GM250SC 520W Power Supply.

1. Has anyone had any experience with this brand? I haven't heard of it.
2. It has dual +12v rails. One with 14A and one with 12A. Will that be enough to power a system like this? If not, and I was going to get a PSU with single +12V rail, what kind of amps should I be looking for?

Thanks,
JBreits

I'm always a bit skeptical when it comes to PSUs I've never heard of. The specs look good, but I've never seen or used that PSU. I only recommend PSUs from Fortron Source. They're better than everything I've used before and often times quite a bit cheaper.

And the sign says "You got to have a membership card to get inside" Huh
So I got me a pen and paper And I made up my own little sign</pre><p></font color=red>
