Are 14a for 3.3v and 30a for 5v. enough for AMD1.4

[shaolin]

From my previous thread I decided to go with a 350W power. The case I saw today was rated like this, 14a 3.3v, 30a 5v and 12a 12v. Is this good cause someone told me that I should look for at least 70W for 3.3v and 14a is not even close...I think.
I am expecting my gear this week so please help me get the case before it arrives.
HEre is my stuff:
Tbird 1.4 with GlobalWIN CAK38
Gigabyte 7dxr
256MB Corsair DDR PC2100
Radeon SE VIVO
MX300 (vortex 2)
12x DVD Rom
Regards

That would seem exceptionally low.

I use the Enermax 465 and whilst it is a 430W supply, it drive 38A on the 3.3V line. Whilst 430 is more than your setup needs, it seems that the supply you are looking at is abnormally low and I would consider the extra few dollars on a reputable psu, enermax being my favourite. Their 365 psu puts out 32A on the 3.3V line...

All any mb or other parts actually need is a 200 watt power supply any will be fine

Thinks he picked of the wrong spec' of the sheet and not the total requirement.

Don't worry I am still going for the 350W but I am shopping today and still not sure on what to look for but for now I am trying to get over 25a at 3.3v (30a will be even better).

Go for an Enermax, all problems solved. Those yum cha units wont deliver good quality power.

Buy that case without the crap psu in it, get what I said above. You wont regret it.
