My system spec goes like this.

Intel C2D E7500 @2.93GHz
4GB DDR2 RAM
Asus EN9800GT GPU
Seagate 250GB 5400 RPM HDD
Sony DVDRW Drive

Since i had no patience to wait to buy a better PSU from some remote PC hardware store,I decided to buy a Coolermaster Elite 460W from a nearby shop and combine it with the PSU which came with the cabinet.The wattage distribution goes like this

CM Elite 460W
+5V 20A
+3.3V 20A
+12V1 18A
+12V2 18A
-12V .8A
+5Vsb 2.5A

Combined wattage:
3.3V&5V:130W
12V:324W
Also it is written on the PSU that the 3.3V&5V&12V total output should not exceed 377.9W


iBall LPS223-400
+5V 32A
+3.3V 25A
+12V 17A
-12V .8A
+5Vsb 2A


Currently the CM Elite is connected to everything except the GPU's additional power slot.The iBall PSU powers this slot alone.Is this the best way to combine these PSU's so that the the load distribution will be balanced in accordance with their capabilities?
 
For a system using a single GeForce 9800 GT graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 400 Watt or greater power supply that has a combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 26 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI-Express supplementary power connector.

The Cooler Master Elite Power 460W (RS-460-PSAR-J3 / RS-460-PSAP-J3), with its combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 27 Amps and with one 6-pin PCI-Express supplementary power connector just meets the requirements to power your system with a single GeForce 9800 GT.

The Cooler Master Elite Power 460W (RS-460-PSAR-J3 / RS-460-PSAP-J3) can't deliver its labeled power, it can only deliver up to 420 Watts. It also doesn't have over current protection even though Cooler Master advertises that it does. Its electrical capacity is exactly the same as the Cooler Master Elite Power 400W. If you paid a higher price than what the Cooler Master Elite Power 400W is selling for then Cooler Master has taken advantage of you.
