Alrighty. Computer PSUs supply power at different voltages, as you know. Modern computers consume most of their power supplied at 12V and modern PSUs are therefore designed to supply the majority of power via the 12V wires. Older computers consumed more power at 3.3 and 5V with 12V not having to be quite so strong. Athlon and Athlon XP systems in some circumstances required over 30A supplied via the 5V ATX pins, but this often is too much for modern power supplies.

The supply option you're looking at should be fine for a P3 or older (and probably for a P4 as well), but you will likely run into problems with an Athlon or Athlon XP.

These supplies you're posting are all fine. I just wanted to advise you of the potential limitation prior to your final decision.
