18 amps on the 12v is low...that wouldent be a very good psu for overclocking.

[YetAnotherNoob]

of should i just tighten the buckle and get a 530w sparkle? for 30 more?

[Drec]

yes...itll last you untill BTX becomes standard.

[YetAnotherNoob]

btx? umm...is that a good two, three years? tech changes awfully fast...

[Drec]

yeah if it even catches on at all that is. but if you want to OC that psu you listed will definatly hold you back. and sparkles* have pretty good resale value as opposed to that $45 POS no one is gonna want to buy :-/
