A Good PSU?

Greeting, folks, Im looking for a bit of PSU help. Im looking at the Hiper 530w Type R, its rated at 530w max with 12v1-20a/12v2-17a. My system is:

Asus A8N-E v2.00 BIOS 1010 Chipset 6.86
Athlon64 x2 3800 @ 2.5GHz (250 x 10) @ 1.45v
2x OCZ4001024PDC-K @ 417MHz (333) Stock Volts
EVGA GeForce 7600GT @ 650/800 (OCd w/ CoolBits)
Enermax Noisetaker420 12v1-18a/12v2-18a (Now Fried) :eek:

Are these 12v rail ratings a big concern or should I just go for the Hiper 580 Type R w/ 12v1-20a/12v2-18a. My GPU is powered via the PCI bus but calls for at least 18a on the 12v rail.

Thanx for the time and repliers, folks!

    I'm very happy with my HiPer 580. The voltages are amazing, and my system draws considerably more power than yours. I think the 530 would do you just fine. :)

    I hadn't heard of that brand before. I looked at their offerings on Newegg. If you say they are good quality Thrax, I'm sure they are. With that in consideration, they are reasonably priced.

    Check reviews on Google. They've only been available on the US market for about a year. I'd never heard of them, but their products looked attractive and well-packaged. Doing some reading, I found nary an ill peep about them.

    Hey, Thrax, thanx 4 your help. I did purchase a new PSU, not the HiPer but the Ultra V-Series 600w. Its great so far and everything is fine. Thanx again.
