18 amps on a 12 volt line good enough for a 9600?

I just installed another Earthwatts 430W last night in an 8800GS system. It's great for the current $50 sale price. I've run an 8800GS, 8800GT, HD3850 and X1950XT from an earthwatts 430, All without problems. It's made by Seasonic, a well respected Quality PSU company.

Yesterday it was still $50 shipped free no rebates. Today it's $70.
Cheapest I know of is Buy.com $53 shipped. http://www.buy.com/prod/antec-earthwatt-430w-80-plus-certified-power-supply/q/loc/101/203477215.html

The 380W earthwatts is $42, and has 27 amps on the 12v.
edit: you can get $10 off either if you are new to google checkout, making it $32 or $43 shipped free.

Unfortunately I don't see any antec rebates around now either.
