I am giving the newegg link, even though I can't buy from newegg. I live in Greece, so I'll have to deal with what I get.
I was going to go for this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004&Tpk=Corsair%20550W

but I saw that the +5V rail is 20A, which is less than my current chieftec humble 400W PSU (26A).
So, the chieftec looks better, but is it? I know Corsair is an excellent brand. Also, why is it that the Chieftec one has 4 12V rails?

ummm... 5v rails are not really required these days the one you want to look at is the 12v rails.

The Corsair you listed is a much better PSU than that cheiftec.
