I edited the post (first i wanted to buy a chieftec :roll: )
I have a MSI k8n Neo platinum mobo, that requires a minimum of 18A on the 12V rail.

My problem is that the NeoHE is included in the Top tier 2 but has 17 A on the 12V rails and the Trio is on the tier 3 and has 18 amps on the 12V rails.
i need help in choosing one of them, so wich one should i buy? (does it matter that the NeoHE has only 17 amps on the 12V rails?)

AMD64 3000+
1 GB DDR
Leadtek PX6600TD

I also intend to upgrade my 6600 to a x1950pro
Thx in advance :wink:

That is more than sufficient for your system including upgrades.
The PSU is not included on the list of good PSUs, although it could be manufactured by somebody else. You would need the UL number to verify that.

No problem dude.That psu will run your system for a few years.Even the upgraded video card will not tax that psu significantly.And as it does have 3 12v rails with one at 23amps,you should be good to go.

ok... :? on second thought I studied the top tier PSU and i found this ANTEC
http://www.antec.com/ec/productDet [...] odID=05505

It is included in Tier 2 so it is one of the best.. the thing i don't understand is this 12vA rails. it has 3 each one with 17 amps. My motherboard requires 18 amps on the 12v Rail, and the antec has 3 with 17 amps so is the antec good enough or is it better than the chieftec?
I also consider buyng this antec .Tier3 but good amps
