My old power supply died today

When I bought my new computer parts earlier this year, I forgot to buy a new power supply (look at my sign for stats). My old power supply was an silverpower 350 watt with 18A 12v. Since my computer worked like a charm with no problems (expect the maxtor sata and nforce 4 chipset issue, more info here: http://maxtor.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/maxt ... faqid=2685), I didnt bother to buy a new one. But today it died while the computer was running. I tried to turn it on again, but not even a single fan started, and I could here some strange noice from the power supply, even when I disconnected all cables from the power supply to the computer.

I found out today that my gpu requires 20A on 12v and that the cpu requires 18A. My old power supply must have been extraordinary good...

Here's my PSU

It costs $130 alone, but it came with my case

Best PC case and PSU I've ever had

Btw, I'm not into amperes but there are some info about my PSU at the botton of the page, not really sure what it means though.
