I know what good amperage would be on a single 12v psu, but I'm a little confused on the dual. Would you add the numbers up on each rail? Also the one I'm looking at has 18A on both rails and it's a 500W. Is that any good?

That sounds pretty decent.

You don't add the amps togeather, they are seperate rails. 18A seems decent, mine is 17A.19A.

Id go with a single rail solution if possible. If not, perhaps try to get 20A on each rail.
