Are you sure you got the volts part right?
Becuase if you did, then it can only output 240w which is sad for a 600w PSU.

I have a feeling you mixed it up and the +12v rail has 35amps, which would be closer to normal but 420w is still a bit low for the +12v rail. It will run your system fine but not exactly a "good" PSU.

Edit- where do you live?Ā

20 amps? wow..... that's just close to one rail on my psu, and my psu watts is smaller. Get another power supply, 600w with only 20A on the 12v rail is iffy.

Ā 

Can't be sure, but you may well be OK - none of your parts are crazy power-hungry (of course you didn't mention Mobo and Processor)... as long as you don't go nuts overclocking or anything you should be alright... although logevity may be another issue (always is with the iffy brands).

whyd you order it before writting reviews? you should just read before you buy so you dont buy a psu thats going to burn out in a month...good luck with it, but hopefully it goes well, they wouldnt sell something if it was made to not work, but it might quite often

The good news is that your machine should run just fine - the bad news is that your "new" power supply likely isn't going to be able to sustain much more than what you've already got on it.
