Could you post a link to the power supply? There's no such thing as a 500W PSU with 46A on the +12V rails (as that would correspond to 552W just on the +12V rails).

So what do you think about that psu is it kosher Is the brand used very often?

Never heard of High Power; infact that looks like the Jeantech Storm PSU with that display on.

For good reason - both are OEM Sirtec, it's a fairly distinctive design.

Used often? No. Sirtec haven't really been widespread since Thermaltake stopped using them. It's worth noting that this PSU is NOT SLI Certified. It claims to be SLI Ready, but that's not the same thing - it hasn't been through nVidia's certification program, only the 560W version is listed as certified on nVidia's website as certified. If you're interested, it's capable of providing +12V@31.67A.

That said, it should be sufficient for your system. It isn't a very high quality unit, and its efficiency is quite poor, so I'd be inclined to look elsewhere, if possible. How much does it cost, and what alternatives do you have? As always, my list of recommendations is located at ceewi1's PSU Recommendations

I feel like a big dumby I really should have come here first.

I paid 74 dollars total with shipping guess I got ripped.

Hopefully it will turn out to be okay.

Thanks.

I got worried about this psu after outr discussion and i went ahead and got this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171024

I'll just send the other one back. I don't want to mess this computer up on the first day. LOL I done some other research after ceewi1 said sirtec and I found a actuall full fledged test on this thing and needless to say it wasn't pretty. It faild with just a 20 amp load on the 12v and at 50% of its capacity every voltage failed so I am not taking any chances.

Thanks for the heads up.

The Real Power Pro is a very good unit given its price. You should have no problems using it to power your system, even if you decide to get a second 8800GT down the track.
