Re: which power supply will be best?

Look at 18 amps being the absolute minimum.

Buy a cheap psu and run the risk of damaging more expensive PC parts.

if interested, you can get it from Pakistan. but who will pay for courier?

Re: which power supply will be best?

guys guys, so the amp is as important as the watts, ok, i don't think i can get anyone from Paki though.

Corsair VX550 with 550 Watt has 41A at 12V.

googled it and the cheapest was $72. anymore suggestions then i can order quickly, i've got a couple of killer games waiting to be played. (and some coding to be done too)
