1. Get a Meanwell or equivalent 12V supply and use it to power a 226 Watt TEC.
2. If you've got a PSU rated for 25 Amps or more on the 12V rail, get a 172 Watt (24V) TEC and run it from the 12V rail of your PSU. (A 172 Watt TEC running at 12V will cool a tad better, and draw less current than an 80 Watt TEC running at 12V.)
3. If your PSU is rated for less than 25 Amps on the 12V rail, buy this or something equivalent, and use it to power a 172 Watt TEC. (Or 80 Watt to save some money.) There are multiples of these with a buy it now price of $17.99. I don't know anything about the brand, but they are spec'd at 80% efficiency which is pretty good for such a supply. At that price it's worth taking a chance on IMO.
Of course, if the supply fails, it will be your GPU that gets toasted.

Taking your advice. Im going to get that PSU for my GPU and that 24v Meanwell for CPU
But 1 last question..
Would it be better to go the route above
or
Just get an
ENERMAX EG465P-VE(FM). 460W Power supply for AMD K7, K8
12v @ 33 A
