The Antec would be the best pick of the lot.

Ah, darnit! I already went for the Enermax 320W… well, it has dual 12V rails both rated at 16amps (total 23A at 276W). XFX themselves recommend 20amps on the 12V-rail, so that should work, right?
(specs: http://www.enermax.com/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=19 ; URL in previous post=wrong)
Enermax is a great pick too. Along with, Fortron, Antec, and a few others, Enermax is pretty conservative with their ratings, not to mention design and build a better power supply. Not a bad choice.
A) good brand reputation
B) seems to be within the necessary specs
C) not too expensive
D) quickly deliverable (someone’s coming around to install PSU and card soon)
E) In about a year, I’ll go for a new system. Then I’ll buy a new (good and powerful) PSU, so I don’t need a super-powerful PSU right now
I’ve got that NoName 350Watt PSU now, but I got the impression that this PSU is much worse than the Enermax, even though mine is 350W and the Enermax 320 Watt.

I wonder why there isn’t a consensus about how to rate power supplies though… it’s very misleading, especially since most hardware states “requires PSU of minimum X Watts”.
On the positive side, you learn something new every day… I guess at least that is good
One day I might even have the courage to try and build a box of my own…

I’m sure you’re beginning to understand why I say watts don’t mean a damn thing…
