Can you tell me what are the adantages of more rails compared to single?
I am looking for a new PSU so I can run my 8800 GT or GTX in the future :)

Once I am able to afford one lol

The Corsair 650 (a great power supply) should run what you want, but don't even consider the Hiper, because they are IMHO a plain and simple paper weight. They do not make decent power supplies and are not even in the same class as a Corsair.

Comparing a Hiper power supply of the same wattage to a Corsair power supply is like comparing a go-cart to a GMC Dump Truck. Want the job done, get the dump truck.
