New PSU

DeadBolt

I need help with selecting a new PSU, the one I had overheated. Ive been told that I need something with atleast 400-500W, duel +12V. My comp setup is made for gaming.

GA-K8N Ultra-SLI
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Geforce 6600GT 128MB PCI-Express
Seagate 160GB SATA
EXCELSTOR 40GB IDE
2GB Corsair Value
Windows XP Pro

With addition to this I need a PSU that can support an addition 4 case fans. I have the MASSCOOL FD08025S1M4 80mm Sleeve Cooling Fan - Retail also I will need to be able to handle the 2nd XFX GeForce 6600GT 128M PCI-Express when I decide to purchase it.

I would like to know more information about duel +12V. I know it comes with 2x ATX12 adpators, what I want to know is does it require that both are enabled for the duel +12V to operation? or would I just be getting half of the total? I was told to look into duel +12V because of my SLI mobo. I looked at the PSU sticky and it didnt provide an answer for that.
 
I'm quite pleased with my coolermaster Purpower 450. They are a bit expensive, but they are very good supplies with very steady voltages. They also have that neat little wattage meeter ;)
 
money isnt so much an issue. Im looking for something stable, reliable, able to coop with hardware upgrades. I still need more information about my duel +12V question.
