buying from newegg?
Budget?

This is one solid PSU for only $60.

The above is the model without a PFC.
There usually is another one on newegg that does have a PFC but it isn't on there at the moment.

That won wouldn't work would it becuase on the specifications I don't think it says +12V 20A, it would be nice if sombody could verify that becuase I'm kind of new to the PSU's

On this one it says +3.3@36A,+5V@30A,+12V1@18A,+12V2@18A,+12V3@18A,+ 12V4@18A,-12V@0.5A,+5VSB@3.0A.
 Do you only go by 12V1@18A?

no, you can go by the total number of amps on all the +12V railings. in this case it'll be 54A.

I agree with you there, I bought that same PSU for my 2nd rig and its dead silent and great modular cabling.
