My System

Somewhere on the psu should be a sticker with a list of maximum amp ratings for each rail, or you can go to the mfg's website for the psu and look it up. I don't usually recommend using a 20 pin connector on a mobo that needs a 24 pin connector, nor do I like using the 20 to 24 pin adaptors (my personal prefrance) Chances are the psu that came with the case is a cheap-o, I would not risk all those valuable components on such a unit....I'd reccomend a PC Power & Cooling, Fortron, Sparkle, Enermax, and Antec-Neo (in order of best to good) unit of 420W or better.
From what I just read on the net, Most people like the case you have, and reported the psu to be adequate, although some did opt to swap the psu for some thing better, give the 20 to 24 pin adaptor a shot, worst case is you find the system unstable and have to change psu, best case, all works fine and nothing to worry about !
