I read the Seasonic 330 review here on SPCR, and it's actually discouraged me somewhat from using it for my planned AM2 system. I'd think that about 300W is more than enough for an X2 4600, GeForce 7600, 3 HDD, up to 4GB RAM, and a couple of PCI cards, so I wouldn't want more wattage than I need (ge...

Both reviews indicate that it doesn't look l...
