Hey,
---- PSU Question ----
So I purchased an RGEEK 300w DC PSU, from Aliexpress.
www.aliexpress.com
It's rated for 300w output. But the max input values don't match up. 12v @ 19a max. Which is equivalent to 228w. Am I looking at this the wrong way?
I'm a software developer by trade, I don't have enough experience when it comes to electricity, so I wouldn't know where to start googling to understand this.
If someone could shed some light, or point me in the right direction then it would be greatly appreciated.
---- Power Adapter Question -----
My estimated usage is about 220w. Here are the PC hardware components I am working with, https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/MQT9Tn
From research, looks like the Dell DA-2 is my only option. Other more commonly used Alienware chargers are rated for 19v.
Is this my best option, or does someone know of anything better?

Below is a photoshoot, but I have all the parts, stencils etc ready to go.
Just need to pick a power adapter, and confirm I can meet the power requirements with this PSU.
