Do I have enough juice?

So, I'm having some issues with my PC, and I was wondering if you guys could give me your opinion on if my PSU has got enough punch.

OCZ 600w, and it's running a q6600 on a rampage formula with an 8600gt, 3xSATA HD, 1xSATA DVD-RW, 4x120mm, 1x80mm.

The rails are running ever so slighly low by a few . I think the 12 was running at 11.93 and the 5 at 4.93, is this acceptable?

I'm running pretty much the same apart from a GTX 260 and a 750W and I'm nowhere near it's max wattage. I'm no expert but I think that should be fine.

Yep, and you have plenty of of power. You could easily run that off something like an Antec Earthwatts 350W PSU

What are the issues you are having?

Flakey memory, not being able to run with dual channel\2 sticks in place, I'm just trying to cover all bases before I do the somewhat inevitable RMA with Asus, just so I can say "done, done, done, done" in emails.

(and no, tis not the ram, tried corsair and the flex, neither work with 2 sticks in.)
