how about the amps req? For ATI 3870 it req at least 26A right?
But this enermax has got 22A only. How do v calculate the amps?

If v add the 2*12V rails it would be 32A. Is this the way to cal?
Below is the chart that i copied down.

+12V1          +12V2
0.5A/22A  0.5A/22A
          384W(32A)

well silverstone 560w is good too. many ppl using it. either brand of enermax, gigabyte, silverstone do good job..just the pricing (value) problem and.. of course electronic thing sure will have some faulty just depends on your luck, even you buy the best brand among all.

since it wrote 384w(32A), then according to the label, it should provide max 32A on +12v rail, which means it provide more than enough for your current pc, you can use it w/o worrying.

normally you can't use 16A + 16A, but you need to take the total wattage. in this case, it show 384w / 12 = 32A. but let say others psu may wrote 16A + 16A but with total wattage of 300W, which means 300 / 12 = 25A. which is maybe a bit under power for your pc.

According to my specs, do u think Odin GT 550W has enough juice to pump my rig?

Pls tell me more about this PSU other than the S/w thingy..
Does it has sleeving like Enermax, etc...?

as i explain b4, take consideration on total wattage then divided by 12, you get the total amperage. and yeah, gigabyte odin gt 550w can power up your pc.
