Yes that should be fine, I guesstimated +12v@~20A and that is rated for +12v@33A so no worries.

Not to mention, it is one of the most efficient power supplies on the market so that's an excellent eco-friendly choice 8)

hmm...so u mean.. after i key in all the info and devide the watt i got by 12?
458w/12=38.17 so thats mean i need to have at least 38amperage for my psu? (system load 100% with 30% capacitor aging)
