Hi, this is my first post on this forum
I'm hopefully going to be building a computer in the next few months and I've found 2 psu's that I'm confused about. They are:

and
http://www.ebuyer.com/200489-coolermaster-gx-550w-psu-rs-550-acaae3-uk
I'm not sure which is better because the 550w psu has 52A on it's 12v rail and 12*52=624, so shouldn't it be able to output 624w? Not 550.
The 600w psu has 45A on it's 12v rail and 12*45=540 so that's 10w under the quoted value.
From what I've read on other forum topics what I've come to understand is that the higher that amps the better for power hungry components.
Am I correct in saying that the 550w psu is the better one? Or am I wrong?
Hopefully you can clear this up for me, thanks in advance
