Then again i'm torn from spending the extra 120 bucks. when mine might be enough. I guess my question is if my power needs exceeds what my PSU can do what can happen? Can my parts fry from not having enough juice?
From what i've seen most Decent PSU's have 18A on the rails. What's different is how many rails it has. My current one has 2 while your corsair has 3 and the ocz i linked has 4.
If it hasnt got enough power, it could do a variety of different things. For example it could just blow up and leave your other components unharmed, it could take the other ones with it, it could just not boot up at all.
But if its got 2 18A rails then it should be ok.
As for your comments about the rails, the best design is just one large rail (my PSU has one rail with 49A on it)
