First, read the stickies at the beginning of this section. They will teach you VERY MUCH about PSU's, and your requirements.

Second, research for yourself as to which PSU suits YOU best. YOU are the ONLY one who can say what is best for your needs.

If you read the stickies, use the links provided in PSU 101 provided by MPilchfamily and they can give you further recommendations as to quality PSU's within your range. Personally, I recommend reading the reviews by JohnnyGuru and Perkam that are linked there.

However, as I see it, finding a QUALITY PSU with the requirements for your new system will not fall within a 30 pound range that you want. Then again, that is EXACTLY why I say that YOU should research it yourself.

I calc'd your max +12v~22A at best so look for a unit that can handle +12v@27A, such as the Akasa 460w that would be a good minimum wattage unit and it is made by Enhance (label pic link), has a 460w rating, sooo... less 25w for the -12&+5vsb, and less a 100w typical +3.3/+5 loadout which leaves a 335w/28A potential for the +12v rectifiers.

It is slightly beyond your budget requirements but you are better safe than sorry.

edit - fixed broken pic link

here is a real load test review @ EOC it ran 485W with +12v@29.4A combined and didn't break a sweat. Prob because the fan was really loud

Wise words.

I agree with the Wyrm on doing some research and working out what your requirements will be. I will say that FSP (also known as Fortron Source) and Sparkle make some good quality, low cost PSUs. Here is a sample of a good 450W FSP.
