Is 25A on the 12V enough for...

+3,3 V: 28 A
+5 V: 35 A
+12 V: 25 A

These are the ratings for a PSU that I am considering buying. It has a total of 400Watts but most importantly, can manage 25A on the +12V. Do you reckon that should be enough for the system in my sig? Any help would be welcome. I currently have a crappy 550Watt (super high 5V Amps but seriously low 12V Amps) that's dying on me and needs replacement.

I'd look for some more on the 12v. What kind of price range for a psu? Maybe someone can help you look for a better one.
 
Hey

Well I have to say that I have like 45 USD for it but I have to buy down here in the Czech Republic. My current PSU has 14Amps on the 12V rail and still works...or has been working for 4 years!!

yes, itll be enough. :) im running my sig pc with a 24A @+12V rail, and have no problems. and my brother even uses the same PSU as me, and he has his 3000+ oc'd to 2,7 GHz ;), so he's got about the same pc as you. except he's got a 6800GT oc'd to ULTRA
just make shure the PSU has good reviews about stability, and you'll be just fine.
 
Yes that PSU should be okay. Though it's nice to have tons of amps/power from the 12V rail for upgrading purposes, 24A should be fine for any midrange system (ie not one running dual processors, top end gfx, 20 fans, and 10 hard drives).
 
Just a question... Who the hell runs 10 Hard drive??!!

Well, who runs 20 fans :P(okay, yeah I've seen the case built out of fans). I've only gotten up to 6 hdds at once, eventually I might get to 10 :D
