Thats MORE than enough for that system!
In fact quite a bit of overkill as well....
your only really using between 250 and 300 watts at peak, even with extras...

That's very good news. But, I'll keep that PSU. Or, get one of these-

As for Amps, as long as you have 18, you're in good shape, right?

[JPMiller]

Well generically speaking, with most NORMAL systems, yes... 18 has been the standard for awhile, however, some of todays more power hungry high tier systems with more than the standard amount of drives or extras may need more.... all depends on your configuration

So, this one will be fine for me-

30 amps total, and good quality. Not too mention sleved cables.

Thats one of my favorite manufacturers and models...

JP or anyone else wanna look at theses numbers? how are they?
Not experiencing any problems just curious if theyre ok.

Voltage Values:

CPU Core 1.62 V
+3.3 V 3.28 V
+5 V 5.08 V
+12 V 11.98 V
-12 V -12.20 V
-5 V -5.10 V
+5 V Standby 4.95 V
VBAT Battery 3.60 V

Excluding the 3 volt, they seem fine. 3 volt may be a little off. But, I don't think many vital components use it.

[JPMiller]

All your rails are well within spec...
.5 either way is well within tolerance...
It can actually be a bit farther out than that in most cases due to real world conditions and the innacuracy of most sensors..

[#43 fan]

And, your rails need to be stable.
Granted, there will be some fluctation, but if it goes .1 up and down, I think that's bad.

5% on any voltage is considered O.K. Used to be 10%! So on 12v it would be able to fuctuate .6v no problem. So in the range of 11.4v or 12.6v is ok. 3.3v can go .165 in the range of 3.465v/3.135v and be ok.
