So basically what you're trying to tell me is that Corsair is excellent? Seasonic is fine but the Corsair 400w = ($39.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate) on newegg atm, which is pretty fkin competitive for the features.
pps: Also LAFF antec "noteworthy". Antec PSU's are piles of horse shit, fuck that.
go away with your shitty giant pictures, you wish they are helpful past breaking the absolute shit out of the page.

See how every PSU not made by Corsair has 2 +12v rails? You can't take a multi-rail PSU then simply add the amperage and expect it to be the same as a single railed PSU with the same amperage (by which logic this would have 80 more amps available (and would be like fucking 1800W) than this.) The corsair PSUs are the best on that chart for that simple fact.

I got a OCZ 500w mod power supply. It is dual rail but it seems to do the job fine while running a single (yes) sapphire radeon HD 4850 512mb ram, athlon II x4, 500gb wd HDD, and a DVD+-rw burner with light scribe.
500w is all he needs.

single rail is a marketing gimmick and in reality there is no real noticeable difference in performance.

Honeslty I don't see much of a difference ethier between rail splits. Single rail prevents you from worrying but to just always use it and think everything else is trash is dumb. Corsair isn't the only Respectable company, OCz is a fine company too and I have a double rail, with 25A powering a gtx 275 it runs perfectely for me. (Also I got the GTX 275 before 5000 series so no nvidia fan-boyism here.

Btw mind you I had a Rosewill 550w (rated for 2 years, went for 2 years and 7 months). Anything above 550w and you need to fucking get out of the thread since you obviously know nothing. Thanks for the options guys
