SeaSonic S12-600 for ASUS A8V Deluxe

[alphakp295]

hi,

i've been researching about this SeaSonic S12-600 power supply for last few days, since my old Antac True Power 430W became unstable.
i read a lot of reviews that this SeaSonic S12-600 PSU is a good one.
I have Asus A8V Deluxe w/ Athlon X2 4600+
All reviews I saw was for SLI configuration w/ PCIe.
My current system has no SLI nor PCIe; it has AGP 8X
I'm looking for SLI support one,
cuz i'll be upgrading my computer in 6 months.
I read that Athlon 64 family need at least 26A on 12V rail,
most of these dual 12v rails have less than 26A each.
Would this PSU work w/ my system?
I have many things connected, too.
I'm looking for an good PSU if SeaSonic S12-600 doesn't fit.
Is there a PSU that might fit for AGP system and PCIe system?
any help would be thankful.

Spec:
AMD Athlon X2 3600+ OCed to 2.7Ghz
ASUS A8V Deluxe
Corsair XMS DDR 3200 2GB OCed
Geforce 6800 GT OCed to 530Mhz Core/ 1150 Mhz DDR3 effective
4 HDDs (2 sata, 2 pata),
DVDRW, DVD, CDRW, etc.

That Seasonic should do fine with your AGP system and will allow you to upgrade easily.

I don't know where you heard that AMD needs 26A on the 12v rail. Intel needs more than AMD right now - Pentiums suck a lot more power than AMD does - so 26A wouldn't surprise me out of an Intel, but I doubt the AMD needs that. 16A is more like it.

Great PSU, but you don't need anywhere NEAR that much power. Save the money and get an Enermax 535W Whisper II model EG565P
or even more money and get this Fortron 450W. Either one should be more than enough to power your rig and are high quality PSUs.

Have you put a PSU tester on that Antec TP?
